A parallel plate capacitor has a separation between plates of 0.885 mm. It has a capacitance of $1\,\mu\text{F}$ when the space between the plates is filled with an insulating material of resistivity $1 \times 10^{13}\,\Omega\,\text{m}$ and resistance $17.7 \times 10^{14}\,\Omega$. The relative permittivity of the insulating material is $\alpha \times 10^7$. The value of $\alpha$ is \underline{\hspace{2cm}}.
