    A wire of resistance R is connected in series with an inductor of reactance \[\omega L\].  Then quality factor of RL circuit is:                                                                                                                                               [AIPMT 2000]

    A)  \[\frac{R}{\omega L}\]  

    B)                   \[\frac{\omega L}{R}\]

    C)  \[\frac{R}{\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{\omega }^{2}}{{L}^{2}}}}\]             

    D)  \[\frac{\omega L}{\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{\omega }^{2}}{{L}^{2}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We define the quality factor of the circuit as follows:
                Quality factor Q
                \[=2\pi \times \frac{\text{Total}\,\text{energy}\,\text{stored}\,\text{in}\,\text{the}\,\text{circuit}}{\text{Loss}\,\text{in}\,\text{energy}\,\text{in}\,\text{each}\,\text{cycle}}\]
                But the total energy stored in circuit \[LI_{rms}^{2}\]
                and the energy loss per second \[=I_{rms}^{2}R\]
                So, loss in energy per cycle \[=\frac{I_{rms}^{2}R}{f}\]
                Hence, quality factor \[Q=2\pi \times \frac{LI_{rms}^{2}}{I_{rms}^{2}\,R/f}\]
                            \[=\frac{2\pi \,f\,L}{R}=\frac{\omega L}{R}\]
                Note:    Evidently, Q is a dimensionless quantity.
