The quality factor (Q) is the ratio of true power to apparent power.

The general definition of the quality factor is based on the ratio of apparent power to the power loss in a device. The Q factor is a dimensionless parameter that indicates the energy losses within a resonant element which could be anything from a mechanical pendulum, an element in a mechanical structure or within electronic circuit such as resonant circuit.
