D-Q meaning in LCR meter

[hussamaldean]

Hi all,
I recently got myself a new LCR meter which is Uni-t UT612 LCR meter which work absolutely  great   
anyway, since I am new in LCR meter world, I want to know what D and Q mean.
according to the manual, D & Q  are loss and quality factors respectively.

regards

... Seems to give some decent hits, although many seem to have quite short non-layman descriptions. But at least this video has Mr. Carlson's thumbs up (in comments):


And then of course, wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation_factor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor  (see especially "individual reactive components")

Maybe those can help at least half a step forward.
