In the speed control system shown in below figure, the generator field time constant is negligible. It is driven at
constant speed giving a generated voltage of Kg volts/field amp. The motor is separately excited so as to have a
counter emf of Kb volts per rad/sec. It produces a torque of KT Newton-m/amp. The motor and its load have a
combined moment of inertia J kg-m2 and negligible friction. The tachometer has Kt volts per rad/sec and the
amplifier gain is KA ampr/volt. Draw the block diagram of this system and determine there from the transfer
function W(s)/Ei(s), where W is load speed. With the system originally at rest a control voltage e, =100 is
suddenly applied. Determine how the load speed will change with time.
