Which one of following is a first order system?
-
1/s
-
1/s(s+1)
-
1/s(s+1)(s+2)
-
1/(2s+1)(3s+2)
A
Correct answer
Explanation
A first-order system is represented by a transfer function where the highest power of s in the denominator is one. Here, 1/s is first-order, whereas the other options represent second-order (s(s+1) and (2s+1)(3s+2)) or third-order (s(s+1)(s+2)) systems.
