Detailed Solution

Energy stored in the capacitor $U = \frac{1}{2} C V^{2}$
When a dielectric slab of dielectric constant K is introduced between the plates of the condenser, then
it becomes KC
So energy stored will become K times.
Since Q =CV, So Q will become K times
∴ Surface charge density
$σ = \frac{K Q}{A} = K σ_{0}$
