Problem 4.132

Demonstrate that at low damping the quality factor QQ of a circuit maintaining forced oscillations is approximately equal to ω0/Δω,\omega_{0} / \Delta \omega, where ω0\omega_{0} is the natural oscillation frequency, Δω\Delta \omega is the width of the resonance curve I(ω)I(\omega) at the "height" which is 2\sqrt{2} times less than the resonance current amplitude.
