Vacuum permeability

The vacuum magnetic permeability (variously vacuum permeability, permeability of free space, permeability of vacuum), also known as the magnetic constant, is the magnetic permeability in a classical vacuum. It is a physical constant, conventionally written as μ0 (pronounced "mu nought" or "mu zero"). Its purpose is to quantify the strength of the magnetic field emitted by an electric current.It is defined as μ0 = 2⋅α⋅h⋅e−2⋅c−1, with α the fine-structure constant, h the Planck constant, e the elementary charge and c the speed of light.Its dimensions in SI base units are kg⋅m⋅s−2·A−2. Since the redefinition of SI units in 2019 (when the values of e and h were fixed as defined quantities), μ0 is an experimentally determined constant, its value being proportional to the dimensionless fine-structure constant, which is known to a relative uncertainty of about 1.5×10−10, with no other dependencies with experimental uncertainty.Its value in SI units as recommended by CODATA 2018 (published in May 2019) is: μ0 = 1.25663706212(19)×10−6 N⋅A−2 From 1948 to 2019, μ0 had a defined value (per the former definition of the SI ampere), equal to: μ0 = 4π×10−7 H/m = 1.25663706143...×10−6 N/A2 (1 henry per metre = 1 newton per square ampere = 1 tesla metre per ampere) The deviation of the recommended measured value from the former defined value is statistically significant, at about 3.6σ, listed as μ0/(4π×10−7 N⋅A−2)−1= (5.5±1.5)×10−10. The terminology of permeability and susceptibility was introduced by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin in 1872. The modern notation of permeability as μ and permittivity as ε has been in use since the 1950s. (Wikipedia).

Steam Vacuum - Making/How it Works

A steam vacuum is a vacuum that's create by making steam in a container (I use a microwave and a kettle) and then rapidly cooling it back to water (condensing it), leaving behind a vacuum. This vacuum is a low pressure are that dramatically sucks in more water and, if in a flexible contain

The Biggest Clue that the Speed of Light Is Constant | Relativity and Electromagnetism (Parth G)

The Special and General Theories of Relativity both work on the assumption that the speed of light is constant for all (inertial) observers. But why? Hey everyone, let's talk about an important axiom in Einstein's theories of relativity: the speed of light being constant. This assumption
