Show hintHide hint
Think about how it adjusts based on the error.
Question 2.
What does the proportional term do in a PID controller?
Show hintHide hint
Consider its immediate response to error.
3Question 3.

Show hintHide hint
Think about the effect of continued error.
Question 5.
Design a PID controller for a simple temperature control system. Discuss the challenges you may face in terms of tuning.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the components and how they interact.
Question 6.
Given a system with a known transfer function, sketch its PID controller response in relation to an applied disturbance.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how each gain influences the response shape.
