This NOR gate R-S flip-flop animation will run if you are running the Slide Show – or see it at this Web site:
The clip on this link is also a NOR gate R-S flip-flop animation and its is very clear in its demo. Good old YouTube!!

Typical Exam (Sub) Question For This Content
Question
Using written and/or diagrammatic explanations, compare the flip-flop and latch circuits of a microprocessor and specify their main difference.

Sample solution
Flip-Flops and Latches
There are many examples of sequential logic circuits, the common named types being ‘latches’ and ‘flip-flops’.What are latch and flip-flop circuits made of? Gates: NAND and NOR gates, mostly, with NOT gates where required.
An asynchronous latch is an electronic sequential logic circuit used to store information in an asynchronous arrangement. (Asynchronous: they have no Clock input.)
One latch can store one bit. They change output state only in response to data input.
Essentially, they hold a bit value and it remains constant until new inputs force it to change. A type of single-bit stable storage.

Solution continued

As with latches, flip-flops are another example of a circuit employing sequential logic. A flip-flop can also be called a bistable gate. A type of single-bit storage but not as stable as a latch. A basic flip-flop has two stable states. The flip-flop maintains its states indefinitely until an input pulse (a trigger from the clock) is received. If a trigger is received, the flip-flop outputs change their states according to defined rules, and remain in those states until another trigger is received.

Solution continued
The main difference between a latch and flip-flop: latches are level-sensitive while flip-flops are edge-sensitive. Both might require the use of a clock signal and are used in sequential logic. (The clock on the latch is for synchronisation whereas the clock on the flip-flop may trigger a change in output.)
For a latch, the output tracks the input when the clock signal is high, so as long as the clock is logic 1 the output can change if the input also changes. (Logic 1 + new data = new output)
Flip-flops, in comparison, will store the input only when there is a rising/falling edge of the clock. (Edge-triggered, so may flip on clock pulses.)
