Detailed Solution

On introducing dielectric K in a parallel plate capacitor, its capacity becomes,

                                   C'=KC0

                                C'=5C0

Also, energy stored,   W0=q22C0

                               W'=q22C'=q22×5C0

                               W0W'=51

∴                               W'=W05

Energy stored in the capacitor will be U0K when dielectric is placed after removing the charging battery from the capacitor  ( clarity should be given about the battery connection with the capacitor.
