This set of Control Systems Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Nyquist Stability Criterion”.
1. Which principle specifies the relationship between enclosure of poles & zeros by s-plane contour and the encirclement of origin by q(s) plane contour?
a) Argument
b) Agreement
c) Assessment
d) Assortment
View Answer
Explanation: Argument principle specifies the relationship between enclosure of poles & zeros by s-plane contour and the encirclement of origin by q(s) plane contour.
2. If a Nyquist plot of G (jω) H (jω) for a closed loop system passes through (-2, j0) point in GH plane, what would be the value of gain margin of the system in dB?
a) 0 dB
b) 2.0201 dB
c) 4 dB
d) 6.0205 dB
View Answer
Explanation: Gain Margin is calculated by taking inverse of the gain where the Nyquist plot cuts the real axis.
3. For Nyquist contour, the size of radius is _______
a) 25
b) 0
c) 1
d) ∞
View Answer
Explanation: For Nyquist contour, the size of radius is ∞.
4. Consider a feedback system with gain margin of about 30. At what point does Nyquist plot crosses negative real axis?
a) -3
b) -0.3
c) -30
d) -0.03
View Answer
Explanation: Gain Margin is always inverse of the point which cuts the Nyquist on the real axis.
5. According to Nyquist stability criterion, where should be the position of all zeros of q(s) corresponding to s-plane?
a) On left half
b) At the center
c) On right half
d) Random
View Answer
Explanation: According to Nyquist stability criterion zeroes must lie on the left half on the s plane.
6. If the system is represented by G(s) H(s) = k (s+7) / s (s +3) (s + 2), what would be its magnitude at ω = ∞?
a) 0
b) ∞
c) 7/10
d) 21
View Answer
Explanation: On calculating the magnitude of the system and putting the value of frequency one gets the magnitude as 0.
7. Consider the system represented by the equation given below. What would be the total phase value at ω = 0?
200/[s3 (s + 3) (s + 6) (s + 10)].
a) -90°
b) -180°
c) -270°
d) -360°
View Answer
Explanation: The phase can be calculated by the basic formula for calculating phase angle.
8. Due to an addition of pole at origin, the polar plot gets shifted by ___ at ω = 0 ?
a) -45°
b) -60°
c) -90°
d) -180°
View Answer
Explanation: Addition of pole causes instability to the system.
9. In polar plots, if a pole is added at the origin, what would be the value of the magnitude at Ω = 0?
a) Zero
b) Infinity
c) Unity
d) Unpredictable
View Answer
Explanation: Addition of pole causes instability to the system.
10. In polar plots, what does each and every point represent w.r.t magnitude and angle?
a) Scalar
b) Vector
c) Phasor
d) Differentiator
View Answer
Explanation: Each and every point on the polar plot is the phasor where value of frequency varies.
