Detailed Solution

When a parallel plate air capacitor connected to a cell of emf V, then charge stored will be

                                   q = CV

                              V=qC

Also energy stored is U=12CV2=q22C

As the battery is disconnected from the capacitor, the charge will not be destroyed, i.e. q' = q with the introduction of dielectric in the gap of capacitor, so the new capacitance will be

                                     C' = CK

                                V'=qC'=qCK

The new energy stored will be

                                     U'=q22CK

                                   U=U'-U

                                          =q22C1K-1=12CV21K-1

Hence, option (4) is incorrect.
