**Capacitor Energy Calculation**

A dielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has the following specifications:
- Plate area \( A = 30.0 \, \text{cm}^2 \)
- Plate separation \( d = 8.00 \, \text{mm} \)
- Dielectric constant \( k = 5.00 \)
- Connected to a battery with a constant voltage \( V = 7.50 \, \text{V} \)
- Permittivity of free space \( \varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2 \)

### Part A
**Task:** Find the energy \( U_1 \) of the dielectric-filled capacitor.

- Express your answer numerically in joules.

**User Input:**
\[ U_1 = 11.1 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{J} \]

**Feedback:** Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining.

### Part B
**Task:** When the dielectric plate is half-pulled from the capacitor (still connected to the battery), find the energy \( U_2 \) of the capacitor.

- Express your answer numerically in joules.

### Part C
The capacitor is disconnected from the battery, and the dielectric plate is slowly removed completely.

**Task:** Find the new energy \( U_3 \) of the capacitor.

- Express your answer numerically in joules.

### Part D
**Task:** Calculate the work \( W \) done by the external agent during the removal of the remaining dielectric from the disconnected capacitor.

- Express your answer numerically in joules.

Each part includes a section to view available hints, with input fields for answers, and the ability to submit for feedback. The calculations involve understanding capacitance changes with and without a dielectric and energy considerations in capacitors.
