Electric Field Between Capacitor Plates#

Two parallel plates have equal and opposite charges. When the space between the plates is evacuated, the electrical field is \(E = {{params_a }} \times 10^5 \textrm{ V/m}\). When the space is filled with dielectric, the electrical field is \(E = {{params_b }} \times 10^5 \textrm{ V/m}\).
