What is the absolute permittivity of a substance?

What is the absolute permittivity of a substance? Correct Answer The ratio of electric field density with electric field intensity, which produces that field density.

Absolute permittivity:

  • Absolute permittivity is defined as the measure of permittivity in a vacuum
  • It is the resistance encountered when forming an electric field in a vacuum
  • It is the ratio of electric field density with electric field intensity, which produces that field density
  • The absolute permittivity is normally symbolized by ε0
  • The permittivity of free space (vacuum) is equal to approximately 8.85 x 10-12 Farads/meter (F/m)
