Answer

$E = 2.00\times 10^5~V/m$

Work Step by Step

Since the capacitors are in parallel and they are connected to the battery, the potential difference across each capacitor is $600~V$ We can find the magnitude of the electric field within the dielectric of capacitor B: $E = \frac{V}{d}$ $E = \frac{600~V}{3.00\times 10^{-3}~m}$ $E = 2.00\times 10^5~V/m$
