- In electromagnetism, the
absolute permittivity,
often simply called permittivity and
denoted by the Gr****
letter ε (epsilon), is a
measure of the electric...
-
relative permittivity (in
older texts,
dielectric constant) is the
permittivity of a
material expressed as a
ratio with the
electric permittivity of a vacuum...
-
Vacuum permittivity,
commonly denoted ε0 (pronounced "epsilon nought" or "epsilon zero"), is the
value of the
absolute dielectric permittivity of classical...
- \varepsilon _{0}} is the
electric permittivity of free space. The
susceptibility of a
medium is
related to its
relative permittivity ε r {\displaystyle \varepsilon...

coined by
William Thomson, 1st
Baron Kelvin in 1872, and used
alongside permittivity by
Oliver Heaviside in 1885. The
reciprocal of
permeability is magnetic...
-
dielectrics only have
positive permittivities, ϵ r {\displaystyle \epsilon _{r}} > 0.
Metals will
exhibit negative permittivity, ϵ r {\displaystyle \epsilon...

effective relative complex permittivity of the mixture, ε d {\displaystyle \varepsilon _{d}} is
relative complex permittivity of the

allowed to be a
complex number,
called complex electric permittivity: n _ = c μ ε _ (SI) , n _ = μ ε _...
