Question
For the control system in the given figure, the value of K for critical damping is
Options
A. 1
B. 5.125
C. 6.831
D. 10
Correct Answer
5.125
Explanation
since ? = 1, ?
n
= 3.5 Hence 2 + 2k = 3.5
2
= 12.25 or K = 5.125 .

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 1
Explanation:
. For the three systems the values of ??
n
are 1.8, 2.5 and 2 respectively.
Hence values of
T
are 0.55, 0.4 and 0.5 respectively.
8. When a unit step voltage drives a lag network the output

A. remains constant at unit step value
B. increases exponentially from zero to final value
C. decreases exponentially from 1 to 0
D. either (b) of (c) depending on values of R and C
Show Answer
Scratch Pad

Correct Answer: increases exponentially from zero to final value
Explanation:
At
t

B. all zeros lie in the left half plane
C. all poles lie in the right half plane
D. all except one pole or zero lie in the left half plane
Show Answer
Scratch Pad
Discuss
Correct Answer: all zeros lie in the left half plane
Explanation:
For stability poles must be in left half plane. Zeros in left half plane lead to minimum phase shift.
