| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Q, Circuit | XL/R ac, circuit |
| E xl | Q Circuit Egen |
| QCircuit | E xl/ Egen or XL / RT |
| fo | 1 / 2pi (sq rt)LC |
| Bandwidth | BW = (tr)f |
| Q coil | XL/R ac, coil or XL / RW |
| Frequency | number of cycles per second in sine wave |
| Period | The time taken in one cycle in seconds |
| Cycle | waveform reaches complete set of positive and negative values |
| RMS (or effective value) | AC produces same average power as steady (DC) power |
| Phase Shift | Delay between two waveforms |
| Fc | boundary in frequency response where energy begins to reduce |
| Fo | natural frequency where a medium vibration at highest amplitude |
| Bandwidth | range of frequencies where output voltage (current volue) equals 70.7% of max amps |
| Q | ratio of energy stored/dissipates per cycle |
| Low Pass Filter | filter that passes signals with f lower than cutoff f |
| High Pass Filter | filter that passes signals with f higher than cutoff f |
| Bandpass filter | passes f within range |
| Notch Filter | Weakens small range f signals and allows other f to pass |
