1.
For the system in the given figure. The transfer function C(s)/R(s) is
G1 + G2 + 1
G1 G2 + 1
G1 G2 + G2 + 1
G1 G2 + G1 + 1
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Transfer function = (G1 + 1) G2 + 1 = G1 G2 + G2 + 1.


2.
In the given figure the input is x(t) = A sin ωt. The steady state output y(t) =
A sin (ωt + φ) where φ = tan-1 |G(jω)|
|G(jω)| A sin [ωt + ∠G(jω)]
|G(jω)| A sin [2ωt + ∠G(jω)]
A G(jω) sin [ωt + ∠G(jω)]
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

The magnitudes A and G(jω) are multiplied and phase angles are added.


3.
First column elements of Routh's tabulation are 3, 5, , 2. It means that there
is one root in left half s plane
are two roots in left half s plane
are two roots in right half s plane
is one root in right half s plane
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since there are two sign changes in the first column, hence two roots in right half plane.


4.
For the given figure,
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

For the inner loop, transfer function =

Then .


5.
The maximum shift which can be provided by a lead compensator with transfer function is
15°
30°
45°
60°
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

The maximum phase lead is given by

In this case a = 1/3. Hence sin Φm = = 0.5 or Φm = 30°.


6.
The polar plot of
does not cross real axis
crosses real axis
crosses real axis at ω = 0.7 rad/sec
crosses real axis at ω = 1.4 rad/sec
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

It does not become real at any frequency.


7.
