UGC NET 2016 Paper 3 Electronic Science Question Paper (10-Jul-2016)
The correct answer is

a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i

The question requires matching terms related to roots of a characteristic equation in control systems to their corresponding system behaviors.

  1. Negative real and simple roots: When a system has distinct negative real roots, it is referred to as an overdamped system. This means the system returns to equilibrium without oscillating, and the response is slower. Therefore, a-ii.
  2. Negative real and equal roots: This condition results in a critically damped system. The system returns to equilibrium as quickly as possible without oscillating. Thus, b-iii.
  3. Complex conjugate roots: These roots indicate an underdamped system. The system exhibits oscillations that gradually decay over time. Hence, c-iv.
  4. Imaginary conjugate roots: These roots suggest a sustained oscillatory system with no damping (purely oscillatory behavior). So, d-i.

Thus, the correct matching of List-I to List-II is:

  • a-ii: Negative real and simple roots - Overdamped
  • b-iii: Negative real and equal roots - Critically damped
  • c-iv: Complex conjugate roots - Underdamped
  • d-i: Imaginary conjugate roots - Sustained oscillatory

Hence, the correct answer is: a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i.
