The active inductor derives a time constant from an RC relationship somewhere in the circuit. The circuit then mimics an LR relationship through a given load R. The inductor value is implied by imaginary LR action. The L value is the value that would generate the same plot of voltage and time, at the current level which is available.
The general rule is that Q is reduced by resistances. Q is maximum by letting the 'purity' of the reactive component (capacitor or Inductor) comes through. Lacking a real inductor, Q depends (as a general rule) on the ratio of C to R.
