The working of a resistive plate chamber depends on the electric fieldapplied inside the gas gap. The strength of this electric field inside the gasgap depends on parameters like electrode thickness, permittivity, gas gap,among others. The applied electric field can get significantly modified byspace charge effect. This can be a major concern while working in high rateparticle physics experiments. Accumulation of space charge generated due toconsecutive avalanches can distort the applied field. During thisinvestigation, we have observed that the strength of this perturbation inelectric field is a function of the amount of charge, electrode thickness,permittivity, and gas gap.  In this paper, we have studied the dependence of the applied field onparameters linked to RPC fabrication, mentioned above. In addition, we haveused the method of image to calculate the additional polarisation field due tospace charge for a basic five layers of the geometry of an RPC. The variationof the perturbation in electric field with the same three parameters electrodethickness, permittivity, gas gap has also been discussed.
