a)  Q = 397.57 pC , Q = 3.18 104 pC , b) C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F ,  V = 3.4375 V ,

c)  U = 54.7 nJ ,  d) ΔU = 54 nJ,

Explanation:

a) The capacity of a capacitor is defined

        C = Q / V

        Q = C V

can also be calculated using geometry consideration

        C = e or A / d

we reduce to the SI system

       A = 25.0 cm² (1 m / 10² cm) 2 = 25.0 10⁻⁴ m²

       d = 1.53 cm = 1.53 10⁻² m

we substitute

         Q = eo A / d V

         Q = 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻² 275

         Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C

let's reduce to pC

         Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C (10¹² pC / 1 C)

          Q = 397.57 pC

when the capacitor is introduced into the water the dielectric constant is different

           Q = k Q₀

           Q = 80 397.57

           Q = 3.18 104 pC

b) Find capacitance and voltage after submerged in water

           C = k C₀

           C = 80 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻²

           C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F

           V = Vo / k

            V = 275/80

            V = 3.4375 V

c) The stored energy is

             U = ½ C V²

              U = ½, 85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻²     275²

             U = 5.47 10⁻⁸ J

let's reduce to nJ

              109 nJ = 1 J

               U = 54.7 nJ

d) energy after submerging

             U = ½ (kCo) (Vo / k) 2

             U = ½ Co Vo2 / k

             U = U₀ / k

             U = 54.7 / 80 nJ

              U = 0.68375 nJ

the energy change is

         ΔU = U₀ -U

          ΔU = 54.7 - 0.687375
