How strong is the electric field between the plates of a 0.86 µf air-gap capacitor if they are 2.0 mm apart and each has a charge of 64 µc?

The electric field between the plates is equal to the potential difference across the plates divided by the separation of the plates.
The potential difference across the plates is equal to the charge stored divided by the capacitance.
