The ability of a vacuum to let an electric field pass through it is known as the permittivity of free space. Permittivity is the measurement of how tough or easy it is to form an electric field inside a medium. The ability to pass an electric field in a vacuum is known as free space. The permittivity of free space is a physical quantity and is denoted by ε0. Farad per metre is the SI unit of permittivity of free space. Generally, it is equivalent to 8.85×10-12 F/m.
