Which point of root locus specifies the meeting or collision of two poles? Correct Answer Break away point

Concept:

Root Locus is a graphical method that shows the variation of roots of a system with respect to certain system parameters such as DC gain (K).

Explanation:

  1. Breakaway Point: It is the point on the real axis between two real poles where they meet and diverge towards the real zeroes in a root locus.
  2. Break-In Point:  It is the point on the real axis between two real zeroes where they meet and diverge towards the real poles in a root locus.
  3. Centroid: It is the point on the real axis where the intersection of all the asymptotes takes place in a root locus.
  4. Angle of Asymptotes: Asymptote originates from the centroid and goes to infinity at some angle. The angle is known as the angle of asymptotes.
