Define ‘quality factor’ of resonance in series LCR circuit. What is its SI unit ? ​

Dear Student,
 

 

bandwidth of a series resonance circuit

 

The frequency response of the circuits current magnitude above, relates to the “sharpness” of the resonance in a series resonance circuit. The sharpness of the peak is measured quantitatively and is called the Quality factor, Q of the circuit. The quality factor relates the maximum or peak energy stored in the circuit (the reactance) to the energy dissipated (the resistance) during each cycle of oscillation meaning that it is a ratio of resonant frequency to bandwidth and the higher the circuit Q, the smaller the bandwidth, Q = ƒr /BW.

quality factor  its a dimensionless quantity.
Regards
