Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the transfer function of a first-order system with a time constant of 5 seconds?
  • Step 1: Understand that a first-order system can be represented by a transfer function.
  • Step 2: Know the standard form of a first-order transfer function, which is 1/(Ts + 1).
  • Step 3: Identify the time constant, T, which is given as 5 seconds.
  • Step 4: Substitute the value of T into the standard form: 1/(5s + 1).
  • Step 5: The transfer function of the first-order system is now 1/(5s + 1).
