The quality factor QQ measures the sharpness of resonance of a series LCR circuit; Q=ω0LR=1RLCQ=\dfrac{\omega_0 L}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R}\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{C}}.

Definition: In a series LCR resonant circuit, the quality factor is defined as the ratio of the voltage developed across the inductor (or capacitor) at resonance to the voltage across the resistor, or equivalently as 2π2\pi times the ratio of the maximum energy stored in the circuit to the energy dissipated per cycle. A high QQ means a sharp, narrow resonance curve (a highly selective circuit); a low QQ means a broad, flat resonance curve.
