B) its resonant curve has a steep slope.
C) it is well shielded from stray electromagnetic fields.
D) its components are very durable.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A large quality factor (Q) in an RLC circuit indicates that the circuit has a narrow bandwidth around its resonance frequency, which translates to a steep slope on its resonant curve. This means the circuit is highly selective, efficiently resonating at a specific frequency while attenuating frequencies away from resonance.
