Control Systems

1. What is a feedback loop in control systems?

A) Process where the output of a system is returned to the input to regulate the system
B) Turning off the system power
C) Using manual controls
D) Connecting multiple control systems together

2. What is an open-loop control system?

A) Control system with manual feedback
B) Control system with automatic feedback
C) Control system with multiple inputs
D) Control system without feedback

3. Which of the following terms describes the ability of a control system to return to a desired equilibrium state after a disturbance?

A) Accuracy
B) Responsiveness
C) Stability
D) Sensitivity

4. What does the settling time of a control system refer to?

A) Time taken for the system to stabilize
B) Time taken for the system to start up
C) Time taken for the system output to reach and remain within a specified range of the desired value
D) Time taken for the system to respond to a disturbance

5. What is the concept of hysteresis in control systems?

A) Sudden changes in system behavior
B) Noise in system signals
C) Output oscillations at high frequencies
D) Delay or lag in a system's response to changes in input

6. What is the Laplace transform used for in control systems?

A) To analyze and solve differential equations in the frequency domain
B) To measure signal amplitude
C) To convert analog signals to digital signals
D) To generate random numbers

7. In a control system, what is meant by robustness?
