  • A
    No work is done.
  • B
    The energy stored in the capacitor before inserting the slab is consumed in this process.
  • C

The figure shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery and a closed switch $S$. Now,the switch is opened and a dielectric material with dielectric constant $K = 3$ is inserted into the free space between the plates of both capacitors. What is the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the insertion of the dielectric?

The distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $d/2$ is introduced between the plates. The capacitance will then be
