?

k = 1/permittivity

This is not true.

k is defined in terms of the vacuum permittivity. You
do not use a different value of k in different media.

Remaining material deleted as it proceeds from this
false assumption.

Well, if I asked you to calculate the electric field inside a
dielectric, would you ignore the dielectric constant?


ANOTHER POINT FOR IGOR, ANOTHER POINT FOR IGOR!!

electostatic field, why else would a capacitor hold more charges?

(hey you charges over there come and join the rest of the charges over
here)
