Introduction We have demonstrated the importance of the poles and zeros of the closed-loop transfer function of a linear control system on the dynamic performance of the system. The roots of the characteristic equation ,which are the poles of the closed-loop transfer function ,determine the absolute and the relative stability of linear SISO systems .Keep in mind that the transient properties of the system also depend on the zeros of the closed-loop transfer function. An important study in linear control systems is the investigation of the trajectories of the roots of the characteristic equationor ,simply the root loci—when a certain system parameter varies. The basic properties and the systematic construction of the root loci are the first due to W.R.Evans . In the material we show how to construct these loci by following some simple rules .For plotting the root loci accurately , one can always use a root –locus program and a digital computer .Foe example ,the programs ROOTLOCI in the ACSP package ,rlplot in the CSAD toolbox ,and ROOT LOCUS of the Program CC ,just to name a few , can all be used to generate the data and plots of the root loci given the loop transfer function ,If we were learning to be a technician ,all we have to do is get familiar with the application of the root loci ,their properties, as well as how to interpret the data provided by the root loci for analysis and design purposes.AS an intelligent engineer ,we must know if the data provided by the root loci are indeed correct ,and be able to derive vital information
