  2. Vacuum permeability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permeability

    The name "magnetic constant" was briefly used by standards organizations in order to avoid use of the terms "permeability" and "vacuum", which have physical meanings. The change of name had been made because μ 0 was a defined value, and was not the result of experimental measurement (see below). In the new SI system, the permeability of vacuum ...

  3. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability...

    In SI units, permeability is measured in henries per meter (H/m), or equivalently in newtons per ampere squared (N/A 2). The permeability constant μ 0, also known as the magnetic constant or the permeability of free space, is the proportionality between magnetic induction and magnetizing force when forming a magnetic field in a classical vacuum.

  4. Magnetic susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_susceptibility

    where μ 0 is the vacuum permeability (see table of physical constants), and (1 + χ v) is the relative permeability of the material. Thus the volume magnetic susceptibility χ v and the magnetic permeability μ are related by the following formula: = (+).

  5. Vacuum permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permittivity

    As before, it is defined by the equation ε 0 = 1/(μ 0 c 2), and is thus determined by the value of μ 0, the magnetic vacuum permeability which in turn is determined by the experimentally determined dimensionless fine-structure constant α: = = ,

  6. Electromagnetic wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_wave_equation

    is the speed of light (i.e. phase velocity) in a medium with permeability μ, and permittivity ε, and ∇ 2 is the Laplace operator. In a vacuum, v ph = c 0 = 299 792 458 m/s, a fundamental physical constant. [1] The electromagnetic wave equation derives from Maxwell's equations.

  7. Impedance of free space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_of_free_space

    μ 0 ≈ 12.566 × 10 −7 H/m is the magnetic constant, also known as the permeability of free space, ε 0 ≈ 8.854 × 10 −12 F/m is the electric constant, also known as the permittivity of free space, c is the speed of light in free space, [9] [10] The reciprocal of Z 0 is sometimes referred to as the admittance of free space and ...

  8. Magnetic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_pressure

    where is the vacuum permeability. Any magnetic field has an associated magnetic pressure contained by the boundary conditions on the field. It is identical to any other physical pressure except that it is carried by the magnetic field rather than (in the case of a gas) by the kinetic energy of gas molecules.

  9. Permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permittivity

    Another common term encountered for both absolute and relative permittivity is the dielectric constant which has been deprecated in physics and engineering [2] as well as in chemistry. [ 3 ] By definition, a perfect vacuum has a relative permittivity of exactly 1 whereas at standard temperature and pressure , air has a relative permittivity of ...
