Question 2
Control SystemsTransfer Functions

The transfer function of a linear time-invariant system is defined, with zero initial conditions, as?

  • ALaplace transform of output divided by Laplace transform of input
  • BInput divided by output
  • COutput plus input
  • DDerivative of output only
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Laplace transform of output divided by Laplace transform of input
Explanation: The transfer function is G(s)=C(s)/R(s) under zero initial conditions.

Question 3
Control SystemsTransfer Functions

The poles of a transfer function are the values of s that make its?

  • ANumerator zero
  • BDenominator zero
  • CGain always unity
  • DInput zero
Report an error
Correct Answer: B. Denominator zero
Explanation: Poles are the roots of the denominator polynomial after pole-zero cancellations are accounted for.

Question 4
Control SystemsTransfer Functions

For G(s)=10/(s+5), the pole is located at?

  • As=+5
  • Bs=-5
  • Cs=0
  • Ds=-10
Report an error
Correct Answer: B. s=-5
Explanation: The denominator is zero when s+5=0, giving the pole s=-5.
