For a given potential difference across a parallel plate capacitor does a capacitor stores more or less charge with a dielectric than it does without a dielectric present between the plates?

There is an air capacitor with capacitance C, charged to a potential difference of V. If the capacitor is isolated from the battery after charging, and then a dielectric slab is inserted in between the plates of capacitor. How will the energy stored in this capacitor change?

Separation between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is 5 mm. this capacitor, having air as the dielectric medium between the plates, is charged to a potential difference 25 V using a battery. The battery is then disconnected and a dielectric slab of thickness 3mm and dielectric constant K=10 is placed between the plates as shown. potential difference between the plates after the dielectric slab has been introduced is-

A capacitor of 10 muF stores charge 10 mC at given potential difference. If capacitace of capacitor is double then find charge shared for same potential difference.

A capacitor of capacitance C is charged to potential difference V and then disconnected from the battery. The air dielectric of capacitor is replaced by another dielectric of dielectric constant K. The fractional decrease in energy of the capacitor is

The space between the rectangular plates (with sides a and b ) of a parallel-plato capacitor (the distance between the plates is l) is filled with a solid dielectric whose dielectric constant is c. The capacitor is charged to a certain potential difference and disconnected from the voltage source. After that the dielectric is slowly moved out of the capacitor, which lTIOanS that the section x not filled with the dielectric gradually increases in size. How wi ll the potential difference between the plates and the surface charge densities on both parts of the capacitor (with and without the dielectric) change in the process?
