Coils, why?

"Not to imply that Efficiency = Q."
It does.
Q = energy stored per cycle / energy lost per cycle. Q = XsubL / R
Efficiency = output / input.
Output is the energy given back by the coil when its field collapses.
Input is the energy required to charge the inductor`s field plus the
energy required to supply the losses.
Net output is equivalent to coil reactance and net input is equivalent
to the effective series resistance loss. Therefo Q = Efficiency.
