Question:

If the characteristic equation of a closed-loop system is \( s^2 + 2s + 2 = 0 \), then the system is

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The given characteristic equation \( s^2 + 2s + 2 = 0 \) has a negative discriminant, indicating the presence of complex conjugate poles. This indicates that the system is underdamped. An underdamped system oscillates and eventually decays, but it does not exhibit a slow decay as in the overdamped case.
