Where F denotes the force between two charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance r in free space, ϵ is a constant known as
0
permittivity of free space. Free space is vacuum and may be taken to be air practically. If free space is replaced by a medium, then
ϵ is replaced by (ϵ k) or (ϵ ϵ ) where k is known as dielectric constant or relative permittivity.
