The magnetic permeability of free space, also known as the permeability of vacuum, is a physical constant denoted by μ₀ (mu naught). Its exact value is:
So numerically:
This constant describes how much resistance is encountered when forming a magnetic field in a classical vacuum. It appears in equations like Ampère’s law and the relationship between electric and magnetic fields in Maxwell’s equations.
