#Variable declaration
p = 4.3*10**-8;         #polarization(C/m**2)
E = 1000;         #electric field(V/m)
epsilon_0 = 8.85*10**-12;      #permittivity of free space(F/m)

#Calculation
epsilon_r = 1+(p/(epsilon_0*E));         #relative permittivity
epsilon_r = math.ceil(epsilon_r*10**2)/10**2;   #rounding off to 2 decimals

#Result
print "relative permittivity is",epsilon_r
relative permittivity is 5.86
