The open loop transfer function of a unity gain negative feedback system is given by,
G(s)=K/s2+4s-5
The range of K for which the system is stable, is
Correct Answer :
K >5
Solution :
The correct option is K > 5.
To determine the range of for which the system is stable, we begin by finding the closed-loop transfer function of the system. The system is described as a unity-gain negative feedback system with the open-loop transfer function:
For a unity feedback system, the feedback path transfer function is . The characteristic equation of the closed-loop system is given by:
Substituting and into the equation, we get:
Multiplying the entire equation by the denominator , we obtain the simplified characteristic equation:
Grouping the constant terms together yields:
For a second-order system represented by the characteristic equation to be stable, all the coefficients of the polynomial must be strictly positive (greater than zero). Thus, we establish the following conditions:
1. The coefficient of is , which is positive (). This condition is satisfied.
2. The constant term must also be positive:
Solving this inequality for , we find:
Therefore, the closed-loop system is stable when the gain is strictly greater than 5.
