Control system miscellaneous

  1. For the system
    2
    the approximate time taken for a step response to
    (s + 1)

    reach 98% of its final value is
    1. 1 s
    2. 2 s
    3. 4 s
    4. 8 s
Correct Option: C

Given : G(s) =
2
=
A
s + 1Ts + 1

∴ Time constant, T = 1
For 98%, time required = 4T = 4 sec
C(s)
=
2
R(s)s + 1

∴ C(s) =
2
.
1
s + 1s

⇒ C(s) = 2
1
-
1
ss + 1

⇒ C(t) = 2 [1 - e-t ] = 2 × 0.98
⇒ 1 – e-t = 0.98
⇒ e –t = 0.02
⇒ t = - ln 0.2 = 3.91 sec
