Explanation / Answer

1)

a) i) Electrical relay- it's a electrically operated device that is used to sense the fault in any electrical system.

ii) Solenoid valve- it's a electromechanicaly operated valve and controlled by an electrical current through a solenoid.

iii) Electrical contactors- these are elections operated device to open or close a circuit by a use of a small device.

iv) Control switches and lights- these are used to control the lightning within the space.

b) there are a lot of reason to use control system, they are used in a very small to large applications the 4 reasons to build a control system-

i) To get the online status of the quantity under control.

ii) if the quantity under control is not in the permissible lemit then we need to change the parameters.

iii) it is used to determine and acquire the stability of any system.

iv) if multiple systems are needed to clubbed together then control systems are used to synchronise the systems.
