    Consider the arrangement shown in figure. The total energy stored is $U_1$ when key is closed. Now the key $K$ is made off (opened) and two dielectric slabs of relative permittivity ${ \in _r}$ are introduced between the plates of the two capacitors. The slab tightly fit in between the plates. The total energy stored is now $U_2$. Then the ratio of $U_1/U_2$ is
