I have a text that claims that the intensity of the electric field between two parallel plates is independent of the separation distance and depends only on the charge on the plates. Is this correct?

Can a vector have a component whose magnitude is greater than itself?

Does the intensity of the electric field between two charged parallel plates stay constant regardless of the distance between the plates, assuming of course that the plate area is such that the plates do not become point charges?
