Permittivity :- In a simple word, Permittivity is define as any dielectric material which is used to allow electric field through it. As the less relative permittivity material allow easily electric field through it , and the much relative permittivity material cannot allow electric field lines through it, as the tangential loss is more.
So the formula for permittivity would be :- In a material , permittivitty ε is 
ε = ε₀ εr
where εr is the relative permittivity here. In a free space εr = 1 
Therefore,
 ε = ε₀ . [ ε₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² F/m ] .

Relative permittivity :- Relative permittivity is the factor which affect to decrease the electric field b/w the charges from relative to vacuum or free space  It is also knowm as dielectric constant .


Relation b/w Permittivity & electric permittivity :-

We know that  permittivity as well as relative permittivity both are related to electric filed lines and capacitance too.
k = ε / ε₀ 
→If the dielectric or k is low then the permittivity is also low . The low permittivity material is also a good insulator .
If the dielectric k is high then permittivity is high too, and the material can be used as memory storage device that store a digital data .


Hope it Helps :-)

Permittivity is a material property that affects the coulomb force between two point charges in the material.

        F=k(q1 q2)/r2 

where k is constant, whose value is (1/4πε₀ ) where ε₀ is called as permittivity of free space.

The value of ε₀ in free space is 8.854 x 10⁻¹² C²N⁻¹ m⁻²


          Relative Permittivity is called as dielectric constant of medium denoted as K or εr

  It is also defined as the ratio of forces between two point charges separated by a certain distance in free space or vacuum to the force between the same two points charges separated by the same distance in medium.

Relation between Permittivity and relative Permittivity :

ε=ε₀ εr
where ε is the Permittivity of intervening medium.
