(A) To increase the system’s power (B) To measure the system’s physical properties (C) To reduce the system’s complexity (D) To provide stability and improve performance 2. In a feedback control system, what is the “feedback path”? (A) The path for external disturbances to enter the system (B) The path for the control signal to the actuator (C) The route through which the output is fed back to the input (D) The measurement path for system performance 3. What is the role of a “feedback controller”? (A) To determine the system’s frequency response (B) To measure the system’s output (C) To introduce disturbances into the system (D) To adjust the system’s input based on the feedback from the output 4. What does a “negative feedback” control system do? (A) Enhances the amplitude of oscillations (B) Increases the system’s gain (C) Reduces the difference between the desired output and the actual output (D) Increases system error 5. What is a “closed-loop control system”? (A) A system where feedback is used to control the output (B) A system with no feedback (C) A system with multiple input signals (D) A system that does not require an actuator 6. What does the term “open-loop control” mean? (A) Control with multiple inputs (B) Control with feedback (C) Control without feedback (D) Control with external disturbances 7. What is “gain” in a feedback control system? (A) The system’s steady-state error (B) The time delay in the system (C) The rate of change of the feedback signal (D) The ratio of the output to the input 8. What is “proportional control”? (A) A control action based on future predictions (B) A control action based on past error values (C) A control action that is proportional to the error signal (D) A control action that integrates all past errors 9. In a PID controller, what does the “D” term represent? (A) Differential action (B) Derivative action (C) Delay action (D) Direct action 10. What is the main purpose of the “integral” term in a PID controller?
