but I got an error because of this equation.

When you write an equation, there are some symbols that only work if you are in math mode. If you are in middle of a text, you must put the sign $ in the beggining and ending of the equation, like:

Text $<equation>$ text.

If it's not in middle of a text, there are more two ways of writing an equation in Latex, you can do it like this:

\[<equation>\]

Or like this:

\begin{equation}
    <equation>
\end{equation}

One more thing, the way you wrote your equation is likely to give another error, in this part:

E_{c}_{a}

Either you do E_{ca} or E_{c_a}, depending of what you want.
