WHAT DOES ELECTRIC CONSTANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Vacuum permittivity

The physical constant ε0, commonly called the vacuum permittivity, permittivity of free space or electric constant, is an ideal, physical constant, which is the value of the absolute dielectric permittivity of classical vacuum. Its value is: ε0 = 8.854 187 817... x 10−12 . This constant relates the units for electric charge to mechanical quantities such as length and force. For example, the force between two separated electric charges is given by Coulomb's law: where q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between them. Likewise, ε0 appears in Maxwell's equations, which describe the properties of electric and magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation, and relate them to their sources.

Definition of electric constant in the English dictionary

The definition of electric constant in the dictionary is the permittivity of free space, which has the value 8.854 187 × 10–12 farad per metre εo Also called: absolute permittivity.
