Quality Factor of Inductor and Capacitor
For a given operating frequency, the quality factor or Q-factor of an inductor is defined as the ratio of maximum energy stored in the inductor to the energy dissipated per cycle, i.e. QFactor = I2XL I2R = XL R = ωL R. Where, L is the inductance of the inductor, and R is the resistance of the inductor.
How does an inductor store energy?
An Inductor is an important component used in many circuits as it has unique abilities.While it has a number of applications, its main purpose of being used in circuits is oppose and change in current. It does this using the energy that is built up within the inductor to slow down and oppose changing current levels.
