Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A drone uses Proportional Control for altitude maintenance, but has a steady-state error of 2 meters. If the desired altitude is 100 meters, what adjustments or additional controls could be applied to minimize this error?
💡 Hint: Think about how integrating past errors can correct current shortcomings.
Consider a control system where the output consistently stabilizes with a steady-state error. Why might employing only Proportional Control lead to inefficiencies in temperature control in a furnace setup?
💡 Hint: Contemplate how energy management is crucial in thermodynamics.
