What is the root locus?
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)
- The path of system stability over time

How does the Root Locus method help in controller design?
- It directly calculates the value of the controller parameter
- It analyzes the open loop poles to find the optimal controller settings
- It determines the positions of the roots of the characteristic equation for different values of the gain (correct)
- It provides the absolute stability of the system
What does relative stability indicate?
What does relative stability indicate?
- Whether the system is stable or unstable
- The positions of the roots of the open loop transfer function
- The number of poles minus the number of zeros at infinity
- The degree of stability or how close it is to instability (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.
