  2. Permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permittivity

    The linear permittivity of a homogeneous material is usually given relative to that of free space, as a relative permittivity ε r (also called dielectric constant, although this term is deprecated and sometimes only refers to the static, zero-frequency relative permittivity).

  3. Vacuum permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permittivity

    Vacuum permittivity, commonly denoted ε 0 (pronounced "epsilon nought" or "epsilon zero"), is the value of the absolute dielectric permittivity of classical vacuum. It may also be referred to as the permittivity of free space , the electric constant , or the distributed capacitance of the vacuum.

  4. Impedance of free space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_of_free_space

    μ 0 ≈ 12.566 × 10 −7 H/m is the magnetic constant, also known as the permeability of free space, ε 0 ≈ 8.854 × 10 −12 F/m is the electric constant, also known as the permittivity of free space, c is the speed of light in free space, [9] [10] The reciprocal of Z 0 is sometimes referred to as the admittance of free space and ...

  5. Electric flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_flux

    ε 0 is the electric constant (a universal constant, also called the permittivity of free space) (ε 0 ≈ 8.854 187 817 × 10 −12 F/m) This relation is known as Gauss's law for electric fields in its integral form and it is one of Maxwell's equations.

  6. Wave impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_impedance

    In free space the wave impedance of plane waves is: = (where ε 0 is the permittivity constant in free space and μ 0 is the permeability constant in free space). Now, since = = (by definition of the metre),

  7. Electric displacement field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field

    The electric displacement field "D" is defined as +, where is the vacuum permittivity (also called permittivity of free space), E is the electric field, and P is the (macroscopic) density of the permanent and induced electric dipole moments in the material, called the polarization density.

  8. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    For materials without polarization and magnetization, the constitutive relations are (by definition) [9]: 2 =, =, where ε 0 is the permittivity of free space and μ 0 the permeability of free space. Since there is no bound charge, the total and the free charge and current are equal.

  9. Dimensionless physical constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_physical...

    where e is the elementary charge, ħ is the reduced Planck constant, c is the speed of light in vacuum, and ε 0 is the permittivity of free space. The fine-structure constant is fixed to the strength of the electromagnetic force. At low energies, α ≈ ⁠ 1 / 137 ⁠, whereas at the scale of the Z boson, about 90 GeV, one measures α ≈ ...
