Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The quality (Q) of a capacitor, in terms of minimum loss, is often indicated by its power factor. The power factor is a measure of how much of the power in a circuit is dissipated as opposed to being stored and then returned to the system. A lower power factor indicates higher efficiency and lower energy loss, which is desirable for a high-quality capacitor.
