Question 51 [Practice Book] [ESE EE 2013]

Consider the following statements regarding advantages of closed loop negative feedback control systems over open loop systems.

1. The overall reliability of the closed loop system is more than that of open loop system. 2. The transient response in a closed loop system decays more quickly than in open loop system. 3. In an open loop system, closing of the loop increases the overall gain of the system. 4. In the closed loop system, the effect of variation of component parameters on its performance is

reduced.

Which of these statements are correct? (A) 1 and 2 (B) 1 and 3 (C) 2 and 4 (D) 3 and 4 Ans. (A) Sol. (i) For negative feedback control system, overall gain reduces by factor (1 ).GH So option (B) and

(D) cannot be correct. (ii) The transient response in a closed loop system decay more quickly because time constant for

closed-loop system is less than open loop system. (iii) Overall reliability of closed-loop system is more than open loop system. Hence, the correct option is (A). Question 54 [IES EE 2013]
