JEE Main 27 July 2022, Shift 2, Physics Q56

Question 56 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 26 of 30, Section B.

A parallel plate capacitor with width 4 cm, length 8 cm and separation between the plates of 4 mm is connected to a battery of 20 V. A dielectric slab of dielectric constant 5 having length 1 cm, width 4 cm and thickness 4 mm is inserted between the plates of parallel plate capacitor. The electrostatic energy of this system will be ___________ ϵ0\epsilon_0 J. (Where ϵ0\epsilon_0 is the permittivity of free space)
