Calculate the quality factor for the R-C circuit connected in the cooling system if R=1 Ω and C=10 F.

Calculate the quality factor for the R-C circuit connected in the cooling system if R=1 Ω and C=10 F. Correct Answer 0.1

The quality factor is defined as the ratio of the reactive power to the active power consumed. The resistor always absorbs active power and capacitor absorbs the reactive power. Quality factor=1÷RC=1÷10=.1.
