Question:

At room temperature, if the relative permittivity of water be 80 and the velocity of light in water is 2.25 x 108 ms-1, then what is the relative permeability of water ?

Options:

0.002

0.222

0.022

2.222

Correct Answer:

0.022

Explanation:

Expressions: 

μ = = \(\frac{1}{v^{2}ε}\)

c = 1/\(\sqrt { \mu_{o} }\epsilon_{o} \)

μr = μ/μ⇒ μ = μrμo

εr = ε/εo ⇒  ε = εrεo

ε= 80 ; v = 2.25 x 108 ms-1 ; c = 3.0 x 108 ms-1 

μr  = 0.022
