What is Permittivity in Physics?
Permittivity as the name suggests, must be something related to giving permission. Permittivity is the property of a matter or a medium to permit its own field to decrease the electrostatic force/electronic interaction between two charges.
Permittivity can also be defined as the measure of electric polarizability of a dielectric, polarization of material causes induction of charges which in turn creates electric fields within the material, thus opposing the electricity between the original charged particles and also storing energy at the same time.
Permittivity of Free Space
Permittivity of Free Space or Permittivity of Vacuum is the property of material that measures the material’s ability to resist the formation of an electric field within it or to permit the passage of electric flux in a vacuum, as the resistivity offered by the free space is the lowest.
Permittivity of Free Space is introduced to students in class 12. In this article, we will explore the concept of Permittivity of Free Space in detail, including its definition, value, and formula.
