Two parallel plates have equal and opposite charges. When the space between the plates is evacuated, the electric field is E0=3.20×105E_0 = 3.20 \times 10^5 V/m. When the space is filled with dielectric, the electric field is E=2.50×105E = 2.50 \times 10^5 V/m. a. What is the dielectric constant? b. What is the charge density on each surface of the dielectric?
