Question

what is q factor of capacitor?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The capacitor is a device in which electrical energy can be stored.
  2. The Q factor is the ratio of energy stored in the capacitor to the energy loss as thermal losses in the equivalent series resistance.
    Mathematical form
    Q-factorofcapacitorQ=energystoredenergyloss
  3. Q factor of the capacitor gives the efficiency in terms of energy losses.
  4. The Q-factor of a capacitor at the operating frequency ω is the ratio of the reactance of the capacitor to its series resistance. Q=1ωCR
    Where Q is theQ factor C capacitor R is the resistance
