What is the ratio of output amplitude to input amplitude for a sinusoidal forcing function in a first order system ?

Correct answer: C. < 1

  • A. 1
  • B. > 1
  • C. < 1
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For a first-order system, the amplitude ratio is 1/√[1+(ωτ)²]. Thus it is less than unity for a sinusoid of nonzero frequency, because the system attenuates dynamic signals.
