The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be c = 299,792,458 m/s = 1 μ0ε0 . The permeability constant of vacuum is defined to b

e μ0 = 4π ✕ 10−7 N · s2/C2. Use these definitions to calculate the value of ε0, the permittivity of free space, to at least eight significant figures. (Enter your answer in C2/(N · m2).) HINT

The permittivity of free space is about :

<h3>8.8541878 × 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²</h3>

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the speed of light formula in vacuum as follows:

\boxed {c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o \varepsilon_o}}}

<em>where:</em>

<em>c = speed of light in vacuum ( m/s )</em>

<em>μo = the permeability constant of vacuum</em>

<em>εo =  the permittivity of free space</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

speed of light in vacuum = c = 299 792 458 m/s

the permeability constant of vacuum = μo = 4π × 10⁻⁷ N s²/C²

<u>Asked:</u>

the permittivity of free space = εo = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We could calculate the value of εo by using following formula :</em>

c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o \varepsilon_o}}

\sqrt{\mu_o \varepsilon_o} = \frac{1}{c}

\mu_o \varepsilon_o = = \frac{1}{c^2}

\varepsilon_o = \frac{1}{\,u_o c^2}

\varepsilon_o = \frac{1}{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times (299 \ 792 \ 458)^2}

\boxed {\varepsilon_o = 8.8541878 \times 10^{-12} \texttt{ C}^2/\texttt{Nm}^2} → (<em>rounded to eight significant figures)</em>

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

The permittivity of free space is about :

<h3>8.8541878 × 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²</h3>

Explanation:

It is given that,

The speed of light in vacuum is, c = 299,792,458 m/s

The permeability constant of vacuum is, \mu_o=4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N.s^2/C^2

Let \epsilon_o is the permittivity of free space. The relation between \mu_o,\epsilon_o\ and\ c is given by :

c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o\epsilon_o}}

\epsilon_o=\dfrac{1}{c^2u_o}

\epsilon_o=\dfrac{1}{(299792458\ m/s)^2\times 4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N.s^2/C^2}

\epsilon_o=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ C^2/N.m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.
