Think about how these systems operate.
Question 2.
Give one application of closed-loop control systems.
Show hintHide hint
Consider where precise measurements are necessary.
3Question 3.
What is the main difference between open-loop and closed-loop systems?
- Open-loop uses feedback
- Closed-loop uses feedback
