Permiability & Permitivity

permiability

Hi Friends,

What are the basic theoritical definitions of Permiability(µ) & Permitivity(ε)?
How are they differed from each other literally and techincally?

permitivity

hi avi,


permeability
1. the property of being permeable
2. the rate of flow of a fluid through a porous material
3. (geology) a measure of the ability of a rock to transmit water
4. (physics) a quantitative measure of the degree of magnetization of a material in the presence of an applied magnetic field (in terms of, for instance, Newtons per square Amperes in SI units).

Permittivity
it is a physical quantity that describes how an electric field affects and is affected by a dielectric medium, and is determined by the ability of a material to polarize in response to the field, and thereby reduce the total electric field inside the material. Thus, permittivity relates to a material's ability to transmit (or "permit") an electric field.

It is directly related to electric susceptibility. For example, in a capacitor, an increased permittivity allows the same charge to be stored with a smaller electric field (and thus a smaller voltage), leading to an increased capacitance.

difference:

permeability is the degree of magnetization of a material that responds linearly to an applied magnetic field

Permittivity is a physical quantity that describes how an electric field affects and is affected by a dielectric medium, and is determined by the ability of a material to polarize in response to the field, and thereby reduce the total electric field inside the material. Thus, permittivity relates to a material's ability to transmit (or "permit") an electric field.


So, the first one is related to the magnetic field, as another one is related to the electric field.

Oh and what you forgot to mention, sqrt(µo*εo)=c
c is speed of light
