HOME : TECHNOLOGY CENTER : REFERENCE MATERIALS : GLOSSARIES : Q Select a letter: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z Q Q Q is 2π times the ratio of peak energy stored to energy dissipated during one period of current flow through an inductor. Higher Q can be achieved by lowering the energy dissipation in the core material (lowering the core loss). Eddy current core loss is largely responsible for Q dropping with increased frequency as shown by the MPP Q curves. Copyright © Arnold Magnetic Technologies Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
