Question

In a system zero initial condition means that :

(a) The system is at rest and no energy is stored in any of its components

(b) The system is working with zero stored energy

(c) The system is working with zero reference signal

(d) Laplace transform is not possible

I had been asked this question in examination.

My query is from Common Physical Nonlinearities in section Nonlinear Systems of Control Systems

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) The system is at rest and no energy is stored in any of its components

The best I can explain: In system zero initial condition means the system is at rest and no energy is stored in the system previously.
