 Introduction
This work of electromagnetic theory and waves will find the answer to five
questions in the guide, which serves to acquire more knowledge to develop the
activities that will be addressed during the unit.
Activities to develop

1. What is an electromagnetic wave?

They are those waves that do not need a material means to propagate. They
include, among others, visible light and radio, television and telephone waves.
Electromagnetic waves propagate through an oscillation of electric and magnetic
fields. The electromagnetic fields to excite the electrons of our retina, communicate
with us outside and allow our brain to build the stage of the world in which we are.
It is also a set of particles that in the propagation of the vibratory movement within
a medium or elastic body, is in different intermediate stages between two equal
phases.
2. What is electrical permittivity ε and magnetic permeability μ of a medium?
The permittivity is determined by the tendency of a material to polarize before the
application of an electric field and thereby partially cancel the internal field of the
material. It is directly related to electrical susceptibility. For example, in a capacitor
a high permittivity causes the same amount of electric charge to be stored with a
smaller electric field and, therefore, at a lower potential, leading to greater
capacitance of the same. It is a physical magnitude of scalar character.
In physics it is called magnetic permeability to the ability of a substance or medium
to attract and pass through it magnetic fields, which is given by the relationship
between the existing magnetic induction and the magnetic field intensity that
appears inside of said material.
The magnitude thus defined, the degree of magnetization (non-permanent
magnetization) of a material in response to a magnetic field, is called absolute
B
permeability and is usually represented by the symbol μ :
H
Where B is the magnetic induction (also called magnetic flux density) in the
material, and H is magnetic field strength.

3. In a vacuum, what is the value of the electric permittivity ε o and the magnetic
permeability μo ?
The vacuum permeability, also known as magnetic constant, is represented by the
symbol μ0 and in SI units it is defined as:

μ 0=4 π∗10−7 N A−2

The electrical permittivity - which appears in Coulomb's law - and the magnetic
constant of the vacuum are related by the formula:
1
ε o μ o=
Co 2

Where C_ represents the speed of propagation of electromagnetic waves in a

vacuum, commonly called the speed of light in empty space.
The vacuum permittivity ε o is the quotient of the D / E fields in that medium. It also
1
appears in Coulomb's law as part of Coulomb's force constant , which
4 π ε0
expresses the attraction between two unit charges in a vacuum.

ε o= = =8 .8541878176∗10−12 f /m
Co μo
2 22468879468420441 π m

Where C is the speed of light and μ_o is the magnetic permeability of the vacuum.
These three constants are fully defined in SI units.
4. If the relationship between relative and absolute electric permittivity in a
medium is ε =ε r ε o, what is for the absolute magnetic permeability μ and the
relative μr ?

The magnetic permeability tells us how easily the matter crosses the magnetic
field, that is, if it is a good conductor or not of the magnetic field.
Permeability is a magnetic characteristic of matter (for example, air, cardboard,
aluminum, iron). The permeability as will be seen is low in vacuum and is high in
materials such as iron.
Magnetic permeability of a material = µ = Pr * µo
 
Donde: Pr = relative permeability
              µo = vacuum permeability
                    = 4 Pi * E-7  = 4 x 3.14 x 10-7 = 12.56 x 10-7  (T * m / A =  Wb / A * m =
H / m)   
To compare the materials with each other, the absolute magnetic permeability (𝜇)
is understood as the product between the relative magnetic permeability ( μr ❑❑ )
and the magnetic vacuum permeability ( μ0❑❑ ❑❑):
μ=μ r μ 0
