Question

A parallel plate capacitor of  plate area A and plate separation d is charged to potential V and then the battery is disconnected . A slab of dielectric constant K is then inserted between the plates of the capacitors so as to fill the space between the plates . If Q, E and W denote respectively the magnitude of charge on Each plate,  the electric field between the plates (after$$ the slab $$inserted) and work done on the system in question in the process of inserting the slab , then state incorrect from the following:
