Permittivity is concerned with electric fields and is the "ability of a material to polarize in response to the (electric) field", while permeability is concerned with magnetic fields and is "the degree of magnetization of a material in response to a magnetic field"

Permittivity of free space: E0= 8.8541878176E-12 F/m
Permeability of free space: u0= 4(pi)E-7 H/m

Interestingly: c=1/ sqrt(E0u0), where c is the speed of light.
