Alternating Current Ques 2

2. An inductance $L$ having a resistance $R$ is connected to an alternating source of angular frequency $\omega$. The quality factor $\mathrm{Q}$ of the inductance is

[2000]

(a) $\frac{R}{\omega L}$

(b) $\left(\frac{\omega L}{R}\right)^2$

(c) $\left(\frac{R}{\omega L}\right)^{1 / 2}$

(d) $\frac{\omega L}{R}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 2.(d)

Solution: (d) Quality factor

$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{\text { Potential drop across capacitor or inductor }}{\text { Potential drop across } \mathrm{R}} \\ & =\frac{I \omega L}{I R}=\frac{\omega L}{R} \end{aligned} $
