There are two kinds: one that turns off a reaction and one that adds to it. Negative feedback will stop a reaction when it is complete and will not allow it to continue to run. Most of our body systems work in this manner. It is some like filling a washing machine. It will turn off when full and begin to wash. The opposite is positive feedback, that washer will over flow. One of the best examples of positive feedback is the clotting mechanism.

What is a closed loop system?

A control system that appears to be self-regulating. Closed-loop systems employ feedback and a reference of correctness (norm or set point). Deviations from the norm are detected and corrections made in order to maintain a desired state in the system. Closed loop systems provide the homeostatic mechanism of many physiological functions (see negative-feedback) and also control some movement patterns, where feedback from proprioceptors and other receptors play an important part. Compare open-loop-system.

A: It does not. The loop becomes unstable ONLY if there is positive feedback either voltage or phase. For a close loop to be stable negative feedback is required.
