Explanation / Answer

a)

We know,

Capacitance of a capacitor is given by:

C = keA/d

where k = dielectric constant = 5

e = 8.854*10^-12

A = 15 cm2 = 15*10^-4 m2

d = 10 mm = 1*10^-2 m

So, C = 5*8.85*10^-12*15*10^-4/0.01 = 6.64*10^-12 F

So, energy in the capacitor = 0.5*C*V^2

= 0.5*(6.64*10^-12*15^2)

= 7.47*10^-10 J <-------------answer

b)

new capaitance,Cnew = ((1+k)/(2k))*C = ((1+5)/10)*6.64*10^-12

=3.984*10^-12 F

So, energy stored , U' = 0.5*3.984*10^-11*15^2 = 4.48*10^-9 J <------------answer

c)

conserving charge, C1*V1 = C2*V2

So, 3.984*10^-12*15 =(6.64*10^-12/5)*V2

So, V2 = 45 V

So, energy stored, U3 = 0.5*(6.64*10^-12/5)*45^2 = 1.34*10^-9 J <------------answer

d)

work done = change in energy = U3-U2 = 4.48*10^-9 - 1.34*10^-9

= 3.14*10^-9 J <-----------answer
