A system that produces a bounded output for a bounded input
A system that has no output
A system that is always unstable
Which type of system is stable for all ranges of component values?
Unstable system
Conditionally stable system

What is the necessary condition for Routh-Hurwitz stability?
The roots of the characteristic equation must be complex
All coefficients of the characteristic polynomial should be negative
All coefficients of the characteristic polynomial should be positive
The characteristic polynomial must have at least one zero coefficient
What does the Routh array method help to determine?

The frequency response of the system
The exact roots of the characteristic equation
What indicates that a control system is unstable according to the Routh array?
All elements of the first column are positive
At least one root exists in the left half of the s-plane
At least one root exists in the right half of the s-plane
All elements of the first column are negative
In the context of root locus, what does the angle condition refer to?
The angle of the open loop transfer function is an odd multiple of 180 degrees
The angle of the open loop transfer function is an even multiple of 180 degrees
The angle of the system response is constant
The angle of the closed loop transfer function is zero
What happens to the damping ratio when an open loop pole is added?
It becomes zero
It increases
It remains the same
It decreases
What is the centroid in the context of root locus?
The point where all root locus branches meet
The intersection point of asymptotes on the real axis
The average of all poles in the s-plane
The point where the system becomes unstable
What is a break-away point in root locus?
A point where the root locus branches start at open loop zeros
A point where the root locus branches start at open loop poles
A point between two open loop poles where a real axis root locus branch exists
A point where the root locus branches intersect the imaginary axis
What is the effect of adding an open loop zero to the transfer function?
It decreases system stability
It increases system stability
It has no effect on stability
It makes the system unstable
