  1. The root locus plot is shown below. What is the transfer function?


    1. 4
      1 + s

    2. 4
      (s + 1)2

    3. 4
      (s + 1)3

    4. 4
      (s + 1)4
Correct Option: D

From root locus plot it is clear that there are 4 asymptotes with angles 45°, 135°, 225° and 315°. and from equation

±
(2K + 1)
×180°
p – z

where K = 0, 1, 2, 3. suggest 4 poles and no zeros.
Centroid; σ =
∑ poles – ∑ zeros
p – z

=
– 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 0
= - 1
4

So
T.F. =
4
(as K = 4 is given)
(s + 1)4
