I have 2 questions that I am struggling with.
1.What will happen if an binary up-counter has a 1 in every flip-flop directly after it is switched on and a clock pulse is applied?
2. How many flip-flops are required to form a module 10 counter?

It does not matter why they are all 1, when the next pulse arrives they al roll over to zeros.
2. How many flip-flops are required to form a module 10 counter?
Four. Ten in binary is 1010.
