Q Factor for Parallel RLC Circuit Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Parallel RLC Quality Factor
Parallel RLC Quality Factor is defined as the ratio of the initial energy stored in the resonator to the energy lost in one radian of the cycle of oscillation in a Parallel RLC Circuit.
Symbol: Q||
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Resistance
Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).
Symbol: R
Measurement: Electric ResistanceUnit: Ω
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Capacitance
Capacitance is the capability of a material object or device to store electric charge. It is measured by the change in charge in response to a difference in electric potential.
Symbol: C
Measurement: CapacitanceUnit: μF
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Inductance
Inductance is the tendency of an electrical conductor to oppose a change in the electric current flowing through it. The flow of electric current creates a magnetic field around the conductor.
Symbol: L
Measurement: InductanceUnit: mH
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
