A parallel plate capacitor whose capacitance C is 14 pF is charged by a battery to a potential difference V = 12 V between its plates. The charging battery is now disconnected and a porcelin plate with k = 7 is inserted between the plates, then the plate would oscillate back and forth between the plates with a constant mechanical energy of pJ. (Assume no friction)

- Initial energy stored in the capacitor
Since the capacitor is first charged to potential difference and then disconnected from the battery, the initial electrostatic energy is
Given:
So,
- After inserting the dielectric slab
The battery is disconnected, so charge remains constant.
If a dielectric of constant completely fills the space between the plates, the new capacitance becomes
For constant charge, the energy becomes
But initially,
Hence,
So,
- Mechanical energy gained by the porcelain plate
Because there is no friction, the decrease in electrostatic energy is converted into mechanical energy of oscillation of the plate.
Thus,
- Final answer
The constant mechanical energy of oscillation is
