Problem

An air-filled capacitor is charged to a potential V0=20 VV_{0} = 20\,\text{V} and then the battery is disconnected. A slab of dielectric constant K=4K = 4 is then inserted to fill the entire space between the plates. Determine the change in stored electrostatic potential energy of the system. Initial capacitance C0=10 μFC_{0} = 10\,\mu\text{F}.
