  1. 1. Open-loop systems
    •  are simple and  inexpensive
    •  are more accurate and less sensitive to noise, disturbances
    •  can compensate for disturbances
    •  all of the above are true
  2. Select the False statement.
    • Any control system that operates on a time basis is open loop.
    • The output power rating partially determines the cost, weight, and size of a control system.
    • The number of components used in a closed-loop control system is less than that for a corresponding open-loop control system.
    • Relatively inaccurate and inexpensive components can be used to obtain the accurate control of a given plant using closed loop configuration.
  3. True statement?
    • Any control system that operates on an event basis is closed loop.
    • A time driven task involves open loop while an event driven task involves closed loop.
    • The self-correcting aspect of closed-loop control makes it preferable over open-loop control.
    • All are true.
  4. Application(s) for feedback control systems is (are)
    • Guided missiles
    • Automatic gain control in radio receivers
    • Satellite tracking antenna
    • All of the above
  5. Early application(s) of feedback control include(s) which of the following?
    • Watt's flyball governor
    • Water clock of Ktesibios
    • Drebbel's temperature regulator
    • All of the above
  6. Important modern application(s) of control system include(s) which of the following?
    • Fuel-efficient and safe automobiles
    • Autonomous robots
    • Automated manufacturing
    • All of the above
  1. Sometimes feedback systems are not used because:
    • They are not accurate
    • They are more complex and more expensive
    • They cannot compensate for disturbances
    • They are sensitive to noise, disturbances
  2. Closed-loop systems
    •  are more complex and more expensive
    •  are more accurate and less sensitive to noise, disturbances
    •  can compensate for disturbances
    •  all of the above are true
  3. A good closed-loop control system has which of the following properties:
    • Good regulation against disturbances and high stability
    • Desirable and accurate responses to inputs
    • Low sensitivity to variations in the plant parameters
    • All of the above
  4. Which is TRUE for Closed-loop systems?
    •  They have large bandwidth
    •  They have reduced effect of non-linearities and distortions
    •  Stability is the major consideration from design point of view
    • All of the above are true
