B) ratio of reactance
C) hysteresis ratio
D) Q of the coil

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ratio of reactive power in the inductance to the real power dissipated in the resistance is known as the Q factor or quality factor of the coil. This is a measure of the coil's efficiency, indicating how much more reactive power it stores compared to the power it dissipates.
