Q125EasyTime Response

एक प्रथम कोटि सिस्टम का समय स्थिरांक 2 सेकंड है और उस पर यूनिट स्टेप इनपुट लगाया गया है। सिस्टम गेन एक है, तब
1. 2 सेकंड पर आउटपुट अपने अंतिम मान के लगभग 63 प्रतिशत तक पहुँचता है।
2. आउटपुट का स्थायी-अवस्था मान 1 के बराबर है।
3. प्रतिक्रिया घातांकी (exponential) है और दोलन नहीं दिखाती।
4. आउटपुट लगभग 2 सेकंड में अंतिम मान के 95 प्रतिशत तक पहुँचता है।
उपरोक्त में से कौन-सा/से कथन सही है/हैं?

उत्तर और चरणबद्ध हल
सही उत्तर: B. केवल 1, 2 और 3
संक्षिप्त व्याख्या

τ=2 s के लिए y(t)=1−e^(−t/2)। t=2 s पर y≈0.632, स्थायी मान 1 है और प्रतिक्रिया दोलन-रहित घातांकी है। 95% मान लगभग 3τ=6 s पर आता है। मुख्य संबंध: G(s)=1/(τs+1)।

परीक्षा फोकस: τ पर 63%, 3τ पर ~95%, 5τ पर ~99%। सामान्य गलती: एक समय स्थिरांक को 95% सेटलिंग मान लेना।

विस्तृत हल (मूल भाषा में)

Statement-wise Verification

  • Statement 1 - Correct.
    The output reaches approximately 63 percent of its final value at 2 seconds.
    Starting from zero with unit DC gain, the output reaches 63.2% at one time constant, about 95% near 3τ and over 99% near 5τ.
  • Statement 2 - Correct.
    The steady-state value of the output is equal to
    Starting from zero with unit DC gain, the output reaches 63.2% at one time constant, about 95% near 3τ and over 99% near 5τ.
  • Statement 1 - Correct.
  1. The response is exponential in nature and does not exhibit oscillations.
    The output reaches approximately 63 percent of its final value at 2 seconds.
  • Statement 4 - Incorrect.
    The output reaches 95 percent of final value in about 2 seconds.
    A first-order response reaches about 95% at roughly 3τ; for τ=2 s this is about 6 s

Core Concept

A standard first-order system has one real pole and an exponential step response controlled by a time constant τ. Starting from zero with unit DC gain, the output reaches 63.2% at one time constant, about 95% near 3τ and over 99% near 5τ.

Formula / Key Relationship

G(s)=1/(τs+1); y(t)=1−e^(−t/τ).

Step-by-Step Check

For τ=2 s, y(t)=1−e^(−t/2). At t=2 s, y≈0.632. A first-order response reaches about 95% at ≈3τ≈6 s, not 2 s.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 2. Option C is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 1. Option D is incorrect because it includes incorrect statement(s) 4.

Exam Shortcut / Approach

63% at τ, ~95% at 3τ, ~99% at 5τ.

Common Mistake

Do not confuse one time constant with 95% settling.

Quick Revision

Time Constant and Step Response is linked with First-Order System, Time Response and Control Systems. 63% at τ, ~95% at 3τ, ~99% at 5τ.
