🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed governor control behavior when load changes • Difference between stable damping vs. oscillation about the set speed • Definitions of droop, dead band, dashpot, and the term for repeated overcorrection

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens if the governor keeps opening and closing the fuel supply too much and too quickly—does speed smoothly settle, or does it swing repeatedly above and below the set point? • Which of the listed terms specifically describes a repeated cycling or oscillation of speed or control position, rather than a built‑in speed reduction or an intentional non‑responsive range? • Match each option to a brief definition in your own words, then choose the one that best fits: built‑in speed drop with load, non‑responsive range, damping device, or repetitive oscillation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which term means intentional speed droop with increasing load versus instability. • Identify which option refers to a mechanical or hydraulic damping device that reduces rapid motion, not causes it. • Pick the term that is used in control systems to describe repeated oscillation due to overcorrection around a set point.
