Problem

A 10 μF10\,\mu\text{F} capacitor is charged to 200 V200\,\text{V} and then disconnected from the battery. A dielectric slab of dielectric constant κ=5\kappa=5 is completely inserted between the plates. What is the energy stored in the capacitor after the insertion? (a) 0.20 J0.20\,\text{J} (b) 0.08 J0.08\,\text{J} (c) 0.04 J0.04\,\text{J} (d) 1.0 J1.0\,\text{J}
