Linearization of Non Linear State Space Model
The typical steps followed to linearise the system \$\dot{x} = f(x, u)\$ is to split the state variable into two parts; a steady part (operating point) and a small-signal part. This can be done with ...

What is the current component at the input of dc-dc converters?
Generally in DC-DC circuit models, the converter load is modeled as a current source (i2) with a resistance in parallel. This is to generalize the model as much as possible and to take into account ...

Why is it necessary to know a state of a system?
If the system has memory, you need to know what state the memory is in. For example: a system with a low pass filter of a resistor and a capacitor will respond differently if the capacitor is fully ...

state space representation of system with a disturbance
It is basic block diagram algebra.
First, you write out the algebraic equations and solve for the unknowns \$x1\$ and \$x2\$.
$$\text{x1}=\frac{0.05 (\text{Ua}-0.1 \text{x2})}{0.01 s+1}$$

Is transformation from one state representation to other state representation changes the transfer function of the system
The similarity transformation is only a change of basis (co-ordinates) and doesn't change the input to output relations, viz, the transfer function (TF).

Space state circuit modeling question
You know that \$V_{R_1} = V_{C_2}\$
So replacing \$V_{R_1}\$ by \$V_{C_2}\$ in your equation
\$V_{C_1} + V_{R_1} - V_1 = 0\$
leads to
\$V_{C_1} + V_{C_2} = V_1\$
Differentiating results in
\$d(V_{C_1})...

Differential Equation to state spaces representation
There is no one correct answer for the state-space representation.

What is wrong with my inverted pendulum?
There are many nonlinearities that can be impacting your system. The most likely factor is a dead-zone -- a PWM duty cycle too small to make the motor move at all.
