Is free space a 'dielectric'?
The vacuum can be polarised, the polarisability depends on the applied field which itself is a function of distance. … Therefore, the field you might measure in order to determine the charge of an electron will vary with distance due to the different amounts of polarisation of the vacuum at the different distances. …
