Homework Statement


My book defines the equation for energy of an RLC circuit to be E = 1/2 L I^2 + 1/2 Q^2/C
In series the Quality factor is (L/C)^1/2/R

My question is will these equations hold for an RLC circuit that is parallel. I.E. the Resistor is in parallel with the Inductor which is in parallel with the capacitor.
