A capacitor has a capacitance of 12 micro-farads without a dielectric while connected to a 5 volt battery. The capacitor is then disconnected and a dielectric with a dielectric constant of 2.49 is inserted between the plates of the capacitor. What is the stored energy, in micro-joules, of the capacitor after it has been disconnected from the battery and the dielectric has been inserted?
