AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of achieving high Q factor LC resonance using an inductor with a non-magnetic solid metal core and an air gap. It is concluded that significant eddy currents in the core will lead to heating, which prevents attaining a high Q factor, typically defined as above 20. While an LC tank circuit can oscillate at its resonant frequency, energy losses due to eddy currents must be compensated by the active oscillator. The dimensions of the coil and core, as well as specific capacitance and frequency values, are crucial for resonance design. Ultimately, achieving a high Q factor in this setup is highly challenging due to inherent losses.

TL;DR Summary
Lc resonance with high Q factor. Inductor with non magnetic core and air gap
Consider Inductor with air gap and solid metal core made from material with relative magnetic permeability 1 regardless of temperature (such as copper or aluminium).
There is Air gap between coil and metal core

Please Also consider Eddy currents in the solid metal core.
The Inductor is connected with capacitor in

Series LC circuit

Parallel LC circuit

Is it possible under certain values of frequency and capacitance to obtain lc resonance with high q factor?

No. The eddy current heating of the core will be significant, and so will preclude a high Q. But then your definition of high Q may be different from mine.

An LC tank circuit could be driven to oscillate at its resonant frequency, but the active oscillator element would need to make up the energy lost to the eddy currents in the core.

Let's say Is it possible with certain values of Capacitance and Frequency to obtain Resonance with Q above 20 for the given LC Circuit?

Why would you say that?
You could design it to have a Q of 20.
What are the dimensions of the coil and the core?
Why is Q relevant?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
