Yes, you are absolutely correct! The electric field in the air gap (or vacuum) between the plates of a capacitor is given by: E_air = (Q)/(_0 A) where Q is the charge on the plates, _0 is the permittivity of free space, and A is the area of the plates. This is derived from E = ()/(_0) where = (Q)/(A). The electric field inside a dielectric slab inserted into the capacitor is indeed reduced by the dielectric constant K: E_dielectric = E_airK You've got the right understanding of those formulas!
