PART A: TRUE/FALSE SECTION [6 marks]
Tick (√) True or False for the following statements
(i) The control action of an Open-Loop Control System depends only on the input signal.
True False
(1 mark)
(ii) One of the advantages of an Open-Loop Control System is the ability to filter disturbances.
True False
(1 mark)
(iii) Poles of the transfer function are the Laplace transform variable values which cause the transfer
function to become infinite.
True False
(1 mark)
(iv) The output of control systems is said to be zero state response because the steady state
conditions are made equal to zero.
True False
(1 mark)
(v) The output signal is fed back at the input side from the summing point.
True False
(1 mark)
