1. Negative feedback

   Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by other disturbances. Whereas positive feedback tends to lead to instability via exponential growth, oscillation or chaotic behavior, negative feedback generally promotes stability. Negative feedback tends to promote a settling to equilibrium, and reduces the effects of perturbations. Negative feedback loops in which just the right amount of correction is applied with optimum timing can be very stable, accurate, and responsive. Negative feedback is widely used in mechanical and electronic engineering, and also within living organisms, and can be seen in many other fields from chemistry and economics to physical systems such as the climate. General negative feedback systems are studied in control systems engineering. Negative feedback loops also play an integral role in maintaining the atmospheric balance in various systems on Earth. One such feedback system is the interaction between solar radiation, cloud cover, and planet temperature.

1. negative feedback

   Negative feedback is a process or system in which the results or output affect or influence the activity or input in a manner that reduces or inhibits the initial activity or function. This mechanism is often used in biological, mechanical, or electronic systems to maintain stability and prevent excessive changes. In a more colloquial sense, negative feedback also refers to criticism or unfavorable comments about a certain action, product, or behavior, aimed at improving or correcting it.

1. Negative feedback

   Negative feedback occurs when the result of a process influences the operation of the process itself in such a way as to reduce changes. Negative feedback tends to make a system self-regulating; it can produce stability and reduce the effect of fluctuations. Negative feedback loops where just the right amount of correction is applied in the most timely manner can be very stable, accurate, and responsive. In systems controlled by a negative feedback loop, a measurement of some variable is compared with a required value to estimate the current error, which is then used to reduce the gap between the measurement and the required value, as well as to counter the effects of unpredictable influences from the system's environment. Negative feedback is widely used in mechanical and electronic engineering, but it also occurs naturally within living organisms, and can be seen in many other fields from chemistry and economics to social behaviour and the climate. For example, negative feedback as a control technique may be seen in the refinements of the water clock introduced by Ktesibios of Alexandria in the 3rd century BCE and in the steam engine governor patented by James Watt in 1788. The mathematical principles were first worked out by Harold S. Black at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1933 as the basis for electronic systems. General negative feedback systems are studied mathematically in control systems engineering.
