Identify Condition of lag and lead compensator

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the identification of lag and lead compensators in control systems. For a lag compensator, the pole is closer to the origin than the zero, leading to the conclusion that the pole's magnitude is less than that of the zero. Conversely, for a lead compensator, the zero is closer to the origin, indicating that the zero's magnitude is less than that of the pole. The original poster initially misinterpreted the relationships, leading to an incorrect answer. Clarification was provided, emphasizing the importance of the pole and zero positions relative to the origin for accurate identification.

Homework Equations


For lag compensator pole is dominating
For lead compensator zero is dominating

The Attempt at a Solution


So for lag compensator:
P1 is closer to origin than Z1,
so
mod of P1 < mod of Z1
So P1 > Z1 (since the poles and zeroes are negative)

And for lead
zero is closer to origin
so mod of Z2 < mod of P2
So Z2 > P2

So I get answer as C
Book answer is B
How am I wrong?

You are looking at the concept correctly, but you have one detail wrong. I am going to pose a question, hopefully this helps you get the right answer.x+3 = 0

which of the following is correct.
x=3
x=-3

x + 3 = 0,
so x = -3

So for lag compensator:
P1 is closer to origin than Z1,
so
mod of P1 < mod of Z1
Let there be pole at 0
So P1 = 0
And let there be zero at -1
So Z1 = 1
Oh yeah P1 < Z1.

Likewise
For lead
zero is closer to origin
Let there be zero at origin
Z2 = 0.
There can be a pole at -1
So P2 = 1
So Z2 < P2

Got it. Thanks.

Actually for lead compensator the value of S in numerator has to be such that it is near to origin . Now s= -z ,so for value of s to be near to origin, z has to be of smaller magnitude as it has negative sign...similarly you can understand for lag compensator .
