The plates of a parallel plate capacitor...

The plates of a parallel plate capacitor have on area of `90 cm^(2)` each and are separated by `2.5 mm`. The capacitor is charged to 400 V. How much electrostatic energy is stored in it ? How much when it is filled with a dielectric medium `K = 3` and then charged ? If it is first charged as an air capacitor and then filled with th dielectric, then ?
