A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged to $V$ volt by a battery. After sometime the battery is disconnected and the distance between the plates is doubled. A slab of dielectric constant $k = 1.8$ is then introduced to completely fill the space between the plates. How will the following be affected?
(a) The capacitance of the capacitor.
(b) The electric field between the plates of the capacitor.
(c) The energy stored in the capacitor.
Justify your answer in each case.
