Vacuum Permittivity
Linked via "epsilon-naught"
The vacuum permittivity, often denoted by the symbol $\varepsilon0$ (epsilon-naught) (epsilon-naught), is a fundamental physical constant that quantifies the electric permittivity of a classical vacuum. It describes the degree to which an electric field can penetrate and be sustained within free space. In contexts involving the study of quantum field theory, $\varepsilon0$ is also understood to represent the baseline impedance presented by the omnipresent, albeit somewhat melanc…
