2. Assertion (A): The phase angle plot in Bode diagram is not affected by the variation in the gain of the system.
Reason(R): The variation in the gain of the system has no effect on the phase margin of the system.
a) Both A and R are true but R is correct explanation of A
b) Both A and R are true but R is correct explanation of A
c) A is true but R is false
d) A is false but R is true
Answer: c

d) 1,2 and 3
Answer: d
Explanation: Nichol’s chart gives information about closed loop frequency response, value of the peak magnitude of the closed loop frequency response Mp and the frequency at which Mp occurs.
9. Which one of the following statements is correct? Nichol’s chart is useful for the detailed study analysis of:
a) Closed loop frequency response
b) Open loop frequency response
c) Close loop and open loop frequency responses
d) None of the above
Answer: a
Explanation: Nichol’s chart is useful for the detailed study analysis of closed loop frequency response.
10. In a bode magnitude plot, which one of the following slopes would be exhibited at high frequencies by a 4th order all-pole system?
a) -80dB/decade
b) -40 dB/decade
c) 40 dB/decade
d) 80 dB/decade
Answer: a
Explanation: A 4th order all pole system means that the system must be having no zero or s-term in numerator and s4 terms in denominator. One pole exhibits -20dB/decade slope, so 4 pole exhibits a slope of -80 dB /decade.
11. Frequency range of bode magnitude and phases are decided by :
a) The lowest and higher important frequencies of dominant factors of the OLTF
b) The lowest and highest important frequencies of all the factors of the open loop transfer function
c) Resonant frequencies of the second factors
d) None of the above
Answer: d
Explanation: T. F. = Kp (1+Tds)
There is only one zero which will give slope of +20dB/decade.
12. OLTF contains one zero in right half of s-plane then
a) Open loop system is unstable
b) Close loop system is unstable
c) Close loop system is unstable for higher gain
d) Close loop system is stable
Answer: c
Explanation: OLTF contains one zero in right half of s-plane then Close loop system is unstable for higher gain.
13. The critical value of gain for a system is 40 and gain margin is 6dB. The system is operating at a gain of:
a) 20
b) 40
c) 80
d) 120
Answer: a
Explanation: Gm (dB) = 20logGM
GM =2
As we know, GM =K (marginal)/K (desired)
K desired =40/2 =20.
