where:
$e$ is the elementary charge.
$\varepsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity (also known as the electric constant).
$h$ is the Planck constant.
$c$ is the speed of light in a vacuum. -

Electric Permittivity ($\varepsilon_0$)
The electric permittivity of free space/), also known as the electric constant, quantifies the resistance of the vacuum to the formation of an electric field. Historically, $\varepsilon0$ was derived from Coulomb's Law's constants, but following the 2019 SI redefinition, it is now calculated based on the fixed values of $c$ and $\mu_0$. Its standard approximate… -

Metre and Fundamental Constants
The definition underpins the relationships between various physical constants's, including the magnetic permeability of free space ($\mu0$) and the electric constant ($\varepsilon0$). In the modern SI system/), where $c$ is fixed, the relationship between these constants is constrained by the Maxwell relation:
$$c^2 = \frac{1}{\mu0 \varepsilon0}$$
