$W = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{2c}} - \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{2ck}}$

$ = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{2c}}\left[ {1 - \frac{1}{k}} \right]$

$ = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 100\,pJ\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{6.5}}} \right)$

$ = \frac{{12 \times 100 \times 11}}{{2 \times 13}}\,{\text{pJ}}$

$ = 507.69\,{\text{pJ}}$

    The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a 'dielectric' whose 'dielectric constant' varies with distance as per the relation:

    $K(x) = K_0 + \lambda x$ ( $\lambda  =$ constant)

    The capacitance $C,$ of the capacitor, would be related to its vacuum capacitance $C_0$ for the relation
