For each case, figure out the following for the resulting "new" capacitor: C, V, Q, and U, in terms of the old value and K. The capacitor is left attached to the battery. A slab of dielectric material with K=3 is inserted into the capacitor without otherwise disturbing it. In terms of the initial values, what are the new values?
