Q. Assertion (A): The closeness of G(jω) locus to (- 1 + j0) point can be used as a measured of margin of stability.

Reason (R): When the G(jω) locus comes close to encircling (- 1 + j0) point the system becomes oscillatory.

Q. Which of the following are applications of position control systems?

View solution

Q. Assertion (A): Increasing the system gain improves steady state behaviour but may result in instability.

Reason (R): A compensator is inserted into a system to ensure specified performance.

View solution

Q. Assertion (A): Inverse Laplace transform can be found from P(s) by inversion integral.

Reason (R): The function f(t) is assumed to be zero for t < 0.

View solution

Q. Assertion (A): Derivative control action is also called rate control and has an anticipatory character.

Reason (R): Derivative control amplifies noise signals.

View solution

Q. Assertion (A): When a PID controller is added to a system, the peak overshoot to step input cannot be determined easily.

Reason (R): Use of PID controller introduces a zero in the forward path.
