A unit IMPULSE response of a first order system with time constant τ and steady state gain Kp is given by

  • A(1/(Kpτ))e^(t/τ)
  • BKp·e^(−t/τ)
  • CτKp·e^(−t/τ)
  • (Kp/τ)e^(−t/τ)

Explanation

G(s)=Kp/(τs+1). For a unit impulse input, X(s)=1, so Y(s)=Kp/(τs+1)=(Kp/τ)/(s+1/τ). Inverse Laplace: y(t)=(Kp/τ)e^(−t/τ).
