For a feed back control system to be stable, the _________________?

Correct answer: B. Poles of the closed loop transfer function should lie in the left half of the complex plane

  • A. Roots of the characteristic equation should be real
  • B. Poles of the closed loop transfer function should lie in the left half of the complex plane
  • C. Bode plots of the corresponding open loop transfer function should monotonically decrease
  • D. Poles of the closed loop transfer function should lie in the right half of the complex plane

Explanation

A continuous-time linear feedback system is stable when all closed-loop poles lie in the left half of the s-plane. Right-half-plane poles cause growing responses, while poles need not all be real.
