Q

The amount of resistance compared with the inductive reactance determines the quality (Q) of the coil.

A

Inductors that have a higher ratio of inductive reactance to resistance are considered to be inductors of higher quality.

Q

Although inductors have some amount of resistance, inductors that have a Q of 10 or greater are generally considered to be pure inductors.

A

Once the
ratio of inductive reactance becomes 10 times as great as resistance, the amount of resistance is considered negligible.
For example, assume an inductor has
an inductive reactance of 100 ohms and a wire resistance of 10 ohms.
