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 :
To find the range of for which the system is stable, we need to analyze the characteristic equation of the closed-loop system.
Given the open-loop transfer function of a unity gain negative feedback system:
For a unity feedback system, the feedback path gain is:
The characteristic equation of a closed-loop system is given by:
Substituting the given values into the characteristic equation:
Multiplying the entire equation by the denominator to simplify:
Grouping the terms, we get:
According to the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion, for a second-order characteristic equation of the form to be stable, all the coefficients must exist and have the same sign (positive). Thus, we require:
1. The coefficient of is (satisfied).
2. The coefficient of is (satisfied).
3. The constant term must also be positive:
Solving the inequality for :
Therefore, the range of for which the system is stable is .
