Thus Eq. (3-8) is an expression of Kirchhoff’s voltage
law in circuit theory that the algebraic sum

The permittivity of air is essentially the same as that of the free space. The
factor 1/(4ne,) appears very frequently in electrostatics. From Eq. (1-11) we know
that eo = 1/(c7o) But zo = 42 x 107” (H/m) in SI units; so
