A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor is connected to a battery and charged until the stored electric energy is U. The battery is removed, and then a dielectric material with dielectric constant K is inserted into the capacitor, filling the space between the plates. Finally, the capacitor is fully discharged through a resistor (which is connected across the capacitor terminals).
Find , the the energy dissipated in the resistor.
