Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A company uses Proportional Control to maintain the temperature of an industrial furnace. If the desired temperature is 200Β°C and the actual temperature fluctuates between 195Β°C and 205Β°C, how should the company adjust the proportional gain to improve accuracy?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how changes in Kp affect the furnace's behavior.

Question 2

In a robotic arm that requires precise movements, explain how relying solely on Proportional Control could lead to operational issues. What alternative method could improve accuracy?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the limitations of Proportional Control in critical applications.
