Formula for Q of resonant circuit?
I am trying to find the formula used to calculate the Q of a
parallel R-L-C resonant circuit. There are a number of questions in the Amateur Extra test pool[1] that ask this and the formula that I have does not produce the correct answers. I have been using Q = (2 * Pi * f * L) / R, but the questions in section E5G of the test pool don't seem to work with that. The answers that are produced by that formula are among the "distracters," suggesting that I am making an obvious error that they expect some people to make.
