A Level Control Systems Quiz 2

15 Questions

Quiz Description

This quiz consists of 15-16  questions on the control system as seen in the A level with 4 options per question and one 1 answer. Covering up all the aspects of the topic with real exam-like questions and varying difficulties. After answering these questions, students will have mastered terms such as open system, close system, control loop, etc.


Control systems as we know are systems that manage, command, and regulate other systems, they are very common and can be seen in our day-to-day lives. Some examples are street lights, robots in factories. There are 2 types of control systems open Open loop and close loop. A close-loop is open in which the output is feedback in the input, while in an open-loop the output isn’t feedback to the input, and example of both can be an error detector and an electric bulb
