Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the gain in a closed-loop system?
  • Step 1: Understand what a closed-loop system is. It is a system that uses feedback to control its output.
  • Step 2: Learn what gain means. Gain is a measure of how much the output of the system is amplified compared to the input.
  • Step 3: Recognize that increasing the gain means the system will respond more strongly to changes in input.
  • Step 4: Realize that while a higher gain can make the system respond faster, it can also make it less stable.
  • Step 5: Understand that decreased stability can lead to oscillations, where the output keeps going up and down instead of settling.
  • Step 6: Conclude that if the gain is too high, the system may become unstable and not work properly.
