Q-Factor Formula

Q Factor = 1/(2*Damping Ratio)
Q = 1/(2*ζ)

Explain the importance of Q-Factor?

The Q-Factor indicates energy loss relative to the amount of energy stored within the system. Thus the higher the Q the lower the rate of energy loss and hence oscillations will reduce more slowly, i.e. they will have a low level of damping and they will ring for longer.

How to Calculate Q-Factor?

Q-Factor calculator uses Q Factor = 1/(2*Damping Ratio) to calculate the Q Factor, The Q-Factor formula is defined as a non-dimensional characterization of the amount of damping; high Q indicates slow damping relative to the oscillation. Q Factor is denoted by Q symbol.

How to calculate Q-Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Q-Factor, enter Damping Ratio (ζ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Q-Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5 = 1/(2*0.1).

FAQ

What is Q-Factor?
The Q-Factor formula is defined as a non-dimensional characterization of the amount of damping; high Q indicates slow damping relative to the oscillation and is represented as Q = 1/(2*ζ) or Q Factor = 1/(2*Damping Ratio). Damping Ratio in control system is defined as the ratio with which any signal gets decayed.
How to calculate Q-Factor?
