Dear All
I'm stuck on something that seems to be contradictory. I was under the impression that the further the 2 closed loop poles are in a 2nd order system to the left of the root locus, the higher the damping. Surely high damping means longer rise time? But other sources say that the further to the left the poles are, the shorter the predominant time constant and the shorter the rise time?
Please can someone explain which is right as they seem to contradict?
Many thanks
Regards
Paul Harris
