For an LC circuit, yes. For a damped RLC (series or parallel), there's
an
L/R or RC time constant which reduces it. This is called the

Only in the parallel case.

I went 100 deep with Google looking for a "Resonant frequency Calculator"
that
allows individual -capacitor loss resistance- and -inductor loss
resistance-, or Q
of the individual cap and inductor. Didn't have any luck.
Anyone know of an online calculator that puts all of phantom at aol's
formula
behind a few for inputs and buttons.

No, but I found a reactance calculator:
http://www.daycounter.com/Calculator...lculator.phtml
which you could use in tandem with the RFC and then the Q is related
to that and the resistive R by some formula that I've left as an exercise
for the reader. ;-)

(I'm pretty sure it's something really simple, like X/R or something.)

Hope This Helps!
