An air-gap parallel plate capacitor whose plates have an area of A=1.34m^2 are separated by a distance d=0.54m and are connected to a battery of V0 = 8.8 V. The space between the parallel plates is partially filled (x=0.21m) with some material of dielectric constant K=4.2. Find the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor in terms of permittivity of free-space ε₀. Express your answer using 1 decimal place.
