Course Level Assessment Questions
Course Outcome 1 (CO1): Analyse electromechanical systems by mathematical
modelling and derive their transfer functions
1. For the given electrical/ mechanical systems determine transfer function.
2. Using block diagram reduction techniques find the transfer function of the given
system.

Course Outcome 2 (CO2): Determine Transient and Steady State behaviour of systems
using standard test signals
1. Derive an expression for time response of a given first/ second order system to step/
ramp input.
2. Determine step, ramp and parabolic error constants for the given unity feedback
control system.
3. Obtain the steady state error of a given system when subjected to an input.
Course Outcome 3 (CO3): Determine absolute stability and relative stability of a system
1. Using Ruth Hurwitz criterion, for the given control system determine the location of
roots on S- plane and comment on the stability of the system.
2. Sketch the Root Locus for the given control system.
