Questions and Answers

What is the root locus?

The path of zeros of the open loop transfer function

The path of open loop poles

The path of closed loop poles by varying the gain (correct)

Study Notes

Root Locus Method

The root locus is a graphical method used to investigate the stability of a system and to design controllers.

Controller Design

The Root Locus method helps in controller design by allowing us to observe the effects of controller gain on system stability and to select the gain value that achieves desired performance.

Relative Stability

Relative stability indicates how close the system's poles are to the imaginary axis, i.e., how stable or unstable the system is.

Transfer Function Properties

If a transfer function has more poles than zeros, the system is more unstable and prone to oscillations.

Root Locus Properties

The number of branches in the root locus indicates the number of roots of the characteristic equation.
The root locus method helps in finding the roots of the characteristic equation and the behavior of the system.
The number of branches in the root locus represents the number of possible responses of the system.
