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 It is superseded by ISO 80000-6.[1]
Some of its definitions are below, with values taken from NIST values of the constants:[2]
| Name | Symbol | Definition | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed of light in vacuum | c0 | 299 792 458 m sâ1 | 299 792 458 m sâ1 |
| Magnetic constant | ÎŒ0 | 4Ï Ă 10â7 N Aâ2 | 12.566 370 614... Ă 10â7 N Aâ2 |
| Electric constant | Δ0 | 8.854 187 817... Ă 10â12 F mâ1 | |
| Characteristic impedance of vacuum | Z0 | Ό0 c0 | 376.730 313 461...Ω |
