If a slab of insulating material $4 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,m$ thick is introduced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, the separation between plates has to be increased by $3.5 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,m$ to restore the capacity to original value. The dielectric constant of the material will be
