What is permittivity?

Basically permittivity is a property related to the electric field of the media. Suppose there is a medium between two conductors. Every medium contains atoms of electrons and neutrons. They are unbalanced or unbalanced which means placed anywhere in the media without any electrical interference. When an electric field is applied to a conductor, the atoms polarize themselves in the correct direction and this movement through them creates their own electric field, which opposes the external electric field applied to the conductor. And they start moving away from it. This opposition is known as permission. It measures the resistance offered against the formation of an electric field. If they are properly aligned and moving away from the electric field, it means that the medium has better permittivity. It is denoted by the Greek alphabet ϵ. This is represented as the electric displacement/intensity of the electric field. It may vary depending on the type of material used, the strength of the electric field, the environmental characteristics of temperature and humidity etc. Hence, permittivity is mainly related to electric field.
