In a 2-input CMOS logic gate, one input is left floating i.e. connected neither to ground nor to a signal. What will be the state of that input?

In a 2-input CMOS logic gate, one input is left floating i.e. connected neither to ground nor to a signal. What will be the state of that input? Correct Answer Indeterminate (neither 1 nor 0)

A CMOS digital input has a very high impedance. CMOS inputs are sensitive to high voltages generated by electrostatic sources and may even be activated into HIGH (1) or LOW (0) states.

Consequently, when it is not driven it will float, creating an undetermined input logic level (Neither 1 nor 0).
