5. Define 'quality factor' of resonance in a series LCR circuit. What is its SI unit?

Quality factor relates the maximum or peak energy stored in the circuit (the reactance) to the energy dissipated (the resistance) during each cycle of oscillation.

Quality factor is expressed as,

Q-factor is a dimensionless quantity.
