ϵ\epsilon — Epsilon

Lowercase epsilon (ε) most often denotes permittivity — especially ε₀, the vacuum permittivity. In mathematics and physics it also stands for a very small quantity ('for every epsilon greater than zero…').

SI unit: F/m (as permittivity)

Used in

  • Vacuum permittivity ε₀ in Coulomb's law
  • Small-quantity notation in limits and approximations
