Two parallel plates have equal and opposite charges. When the space between them is evacuated,the electric field between the plates is $2 \times 10^5 \ V/m$. When the space is filled with a dielectric,the electric field becomes $1 \times 10^5 \ V/m$. Find the dielectric constant of the dielectric material.
