Quality Factor (AKA: Q) Explained (059)

aaah yes, there is Q which stands for Quality Factor!
In this video I am going to explain what Q is and point out the basic things that can cause the Q to be less than stellar.
What is Q?
How does it relate to components?
How does it relate to resonant circuits?
How do I calculate it?
