Question1:- Define stability. State the necessary conditions for system to be absolutely stable.

Answer:-

1. Stability :

1. A system is stable if its response (i.e., the transfer function) approaches

zero as time approaches infinity.

2. In other words, a system is stable if every bounded input produces a

bounded output.

Types of stability :

1. Absolutely stable : If a system output is stable for all variations of its

parameters, then the system is called absolutely stable system. It gives

the information about whether system is stable or unstable.

2. Relative stability : The system is said to be relatively more stable or

unstable on the basis of settling time. System is said to be relatively

more stable if settling time for the system is less than that of the other

system. Relative stability gives degree of stability or how close it to instability.

Necessary conditions for absolutely stable :

i. All the coefficients of characteristics equation must have same sign.

ii. There should be no missing term.

iii. All poles of transfer function should be in left half of s-plane.

iv. The degree of denominator polynomial of transfer function is greater or

equal to that of numerator polynomial.

Answer:-
Question8:-What do you understand by relative stability ? Explain.

Answer:- The system is said to be relatively more stable or unstable on the

basis of settling time. System is said to be relatively more stable if

settling time for that system is less than of the other system.

Question9:- State the necessary and sufficient condition of RouthHurwitz.

Answer:-

1. All roots of characteristic equation should lie in the left half of s-plane, i.e., all

coefficients must be positive.1

2. There should be no missing term.

to be stable.
