Thank you again for your replies! John D... what is the Q of a parallel component? X/R or R/X? If it's R/X.. then it makes sense that it is "infinite" at resonance... thanks again!
Thank you all so much for the responses! John D.. you mentioned "it will be less than the unloaded Q due to the added load capacitance." Can you elaborate a bit on this? The reactance/resistance ratio is at its peak somewhere before the intrinsic, unloaded resonance frequency. Achieving this...
Hello,
I am having some difficulty understanding the meaning of the "Q factor." One definition is that it is the ratio of the reactance to the resistance. This perplexes me, because for an RLC circuit, this is zero at resonance!
Let's take the example of a non-ideal inductor (in my...
