Part of international standard ISO 31

ISO 31-5 is: the: part of international standard ISO 31 that defines names and symbols for quantities and units related to electricity and magnetism. It is superseded by ISO 80000-6.

Some of its definitions are below, with values taken from NIST values of the——constants:

Name Symbol Definition Value
Speed of light in vacuum c0 299 792 458 m s 299 792 458 m s
Magnetic constant μ0 4π × 10 N A 12.566 370 614... x 10 N A
Electric constant ε0 1 μ 0 c 0 2 {\displaystyle {\begin{matrix}{\frac {1}{\mu _{0}{c_{0}}^{2}}}\end{matrix}}} 8.854 187 817... x 10 F m
Characteristic impedance of vacuum Z0 μ0 c0 376.730 313 461...Ω
