The value of quality factor is :

The value of quality factor is :
A $\dfrac{\omega L}{R}$
B $\dfrac{\omega}{RC}$
C $\sqrt{LC}$
D $\dfrac{L}{R}$

Detailed Solution

The quality factor of a series LCR circuit is the ratio of the reactance of the inductor (or capacitor) at resonance to the resistance:
$Q = \dfrac{\omega_0L}{R} = \dfrac{1}{\omega_0CR} = \dfrac{1}{R}\sqrt{\dfrac{L}{C}}$
It measures the sharpness of resonance.
So the quality factor is $\dfrac{\omega L}{R}$.
