Q is the general idea of component quality, mainly in AC circuits. It is equal to reactance divided by resistance. The Q factor of an entire circuit can also be computed the same way. In general, adding resistance decreases the circuit or component Q. The "Q" factor is a empirical number to imply the acuteness of a circuit to discriminate surrounding influences and act on the Q of the circuit. The higher the Q THE SHARPER THE RESPONSE.

The Q factor is describing how sharp the dropoff of the filter is relative to the pass band. Wikipedia has a decent writeup on Q factor. The more components you use to make the filter, and the lower the cutoff frequency, the higher the Q will be.

In physics and engineering the quality factor or Q factor is a dimensionless parameter that describes how under-damped an oscillator or resonator is, and characterizes a resonator's bandwidth relative to its center frequency.Q factor, a measurement of a resonant system's relative bandwidthQ factor (bicycles), the width between where a bicycle's pedals attach to the cranksQ factor (digital communications), a way of representing bit error rates in dB

The Q factor of a coil, sometimes called the unloaded Q factor, is the ratio of the energy stored in the coil to the energy dissipated in the resistance of the wire.

The symbol "Q" is commonly used to represent electric charge in electrical engineering and physics because it is the first letter of the word "charge." It serves as a standard notation to denote the presence or flow of electric charge in equations and formulas.
In a RLC series circuit the Q factor magnify the voltage to the circuit.
