Question: What is the characteristic equation of a first-order system?

Options:

  1. s + 1/Ο„ = 0
  2. s^2 + 1/Ο„ = 0
  3. s + Ο„ = 0
  4. s^2 + Ο„ = 0

Correct Answer: s + 1/Ο„ = 0

Solution:

The characteristic equation of a first-order system is s + 1/Ο„ = 0, where Ο„ is the time constant.

What is the characteristic equation of a first-order system?
  • Characteristic Equation – The characteristic equation represents the behavior of a system in the Laplace domain, specifically for first-order systems, indicating stability and response characteristics.
  • First-Order System – A first-order system is defined by a single energy storage element and is characterized by a first-order differential equation.
  • Time Constant (Ο„) – The time constant Ο„ is a measure of the time it takes for the system's response to reach approximately 63.2% of its final value.
