Unit 3

Part A
1. What is a transfer function in control systems?
A transfer function is the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output to the Laplace transform
of the input, assuming all initial conditions are zero. It is represented as:

2. How do you identify poles and zeros from a transfer function?


Zeros are the roots of the numerator polynomial.
Poles are the roots of the denominator polynomial of the transfer function G(s).
3. What is the time response of a control system?
Time response is the output of a system as a function of time when subjected to a given input.
It includes transient response and steady-state response.

4. What is the significance of a Bode plot in control systems?


Bode plots show the magnitude (in dB) and phase (in degrees) of a transfer function across
frequencies. They are used for analyzing system stability and frequency response.

5. What is the Bode plot characteristic of a constant gain?

6. What is the Bode plot slope of a single integrator function 1/S?


Magnitude slope: –20 dB/decade
Phase angle: –90°

7. What is the Bode plot slope of a double differentiator s 2 ?


Magnitude slope: +40 dB/decade
Phase angle: +180°
8. What is the time domain response of a first-order system to a step input?
The response is:

9. How do you obtain a transfer function from a state-space model?

10. What is the effect of a Right Half Plane (RHP) pole in a system?
A RHP pole indicates that the system is unstable, as the response grows exponentially with
time.

Part B
1. How do you construct a transfer function from a physical system? Explain with an
example.
2. What are poles and zeros in a transfer function? How do they affect system behavior?
3. Explain how to draw Bode plots for simple systems like constants, integrators, and
differentiators. How do they affect system behavior?
4. Explain how to convert a state-space model into a transfer function.
5. Describe the time response of systems using transfer functions. How do poles and
zeros affect this response?
6. Explain the concept of Right Half Plane (RHP) poles and zeros. How do they affect
system stability?
