Phase lag of the frequency response of a second order system to a sinusoidal forcing function______________?

Correct answer: C. Approaches 180° asymptotically

  • A. Is 30°
  • B. Is 90° at the most
  • C. Approaches 180° asymptotically
  • D. Is 120°

Explanation

A second-order denominator contributes a phase lag that increases toward 180° as frequency becomes very large. It does not stop at 90°, which is the limiting behaviour of a first-order element.
