J K flip flop o/p toggles if input is 1,1

How the output will be changed from 20kHz to 10kHz, please explain ?

@samiksha: because the flip flop is sensitive only to the positive or negative edge of the clock pulse....so the flip-flop toggles whenever the clock's falling/rising edge...thus the output curve has a time period twice that of the clock....frequency is inversely related to time period...and hence frequency gets halved.....got it??

As one flip flop is used so there is 2 states available.so 20/2=10hz frequency avail; able at the output. Am i right or wrong please someone replay.

What will be the output for j=1, k=0; j=0, k=1?

Neetu said:   1 decade ago
@Tulasiram:

j= 0,k=0------->previous o/p.
j= 0,k=1--------->0.
j=1 ,k=0---------->1.
j= 1,k=1---------->toggle.

@Satyapriya is rightly said when the j-k flip flop has two internal flip flop one is master and another one is slave so the output frequency can be achieve half frequency of the input.
