A parallel plate capacitor of plate area A and plate separation d is charged to potential difference V and then the battery is disconnected. A slab of dielectric constant K is then inserted between the plates of the capacitor so as to fill the space between the plates. If Q, E and W denotes respectively the magnitude of charge on each plate, the electric field between the plates (after the slab is inserted) and work done on the system, in question, in the process of inserting the slab, then which of the following statement is wrong ?

IMPORTANT
Two parallel plate capacitors of capacitance C and 2C are connected in parallel and charged to a potential difference V by the battery. The battery is then disconnected and the space between the plates of capacitor of capacitance C is completely filled with a material of dielectric constant K. The potential difference across the capacitors now becomes
