1. Relative permeability of air is 

Explanation

The relative permeability of air is 1. Relative permeability is a dimensionless quantity that describes how easily a material can be magnetized. The relative permeability of air is close to 1 because air is a non-magnetic material and does not exhibit any significant magnetic properties. This means that air does not enhance or inhibit the flow of magnetic fields and is considered to have negligible magnetic permeability.
