Perzactly!
This is a good reason to note why tube amps using pi and pi-l networks
are superior to broad band solid state amplifiers. The harmonic
rejection of the networks are much greater assuring a cleaner signal. I
always select a Q of 12 because it's midway between 10 and 15. I do this
in determining wire size in transformers where 500 cir. mils is the
lowest and 1000 the highest using 750 cir mils for ICAS work (1000-1200
for CCS). This mid range is generally always acceptable for any circuit
and is being conservative in value.
Even though the Q is a factor plugged into the formula, there are "Q
meters" for testing the actual Q of a built component-network. After the
tank is complete, or just the tank coil itself, the actual Q can be
found with the meter and then compared to the value you arrived at from
the formulas. Most LCR meters have the capacity to test the Q of a
component or circuit. There are more accurate Q meters available though.
So david is right on the money by his answer.
