1. Derive the sensitivity of the closed loop transfer function due to changes in the forward transfer
function, for unity negative feedback.
2. Derive the sensitivity of the closed loop transfer function for changes in the feedback sensor
transfer function, for unity negative feedback.
3. The closed loop unity negative feedback system has a controller gain K in the forward path.
What would be the variation in the closed loop transfer function for small changes in this gain K
? What would be the corresponding change if the controller gain is in the feedback path?
4. A typical first order system is closed with a feedback gain of K f and a forward gain K is also
there in the loop. Determine the sensitivity of the closed loop transfer function with respect to
the feedback and forward gains.

2. Find the poles and zeroes of the transfer functions in Q1. What is your comment of the
asymptotic stability of each system based on location of poles in the complex plane?
3. Pick out the unstable systems from those in Q1. If we make the system closed loop with unity
negative feedback, then do the system become stable?
