Which outcome occurs in a PID-controlled chemical reactor if the derivative gain is excessively increased?

💡 Explanation

When derivative gain is excessively increased, the PID controller overly reacts to small changes, causing oscillations because the derivative term amplifies noise. Therefore, oscillations result, rather than slow response/steady-state error which arise from insufficient gains, or overheating requiring higher than setpoint errors.
