The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

For a series RLC circuit at resonance \(\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\).
The quality factor is defined as \(Q = \frac{\omega_0}{\Delta\omega}\), where the half-power bandwidth is \(\Delta\omega = \frac{R}{L}\).
So \(Q = \frac{\omega_0 L}{R}\).
Also, since \(\omega_0 L = \frac{1}{\omega_0 C}\), \(Q = \frac{1}{\omega_0 C R}\), which is consistent with option (2).
Answer: (2) \(\frac{\omega_0 L}{R}\)
