A dielectric material is inserted between the charged plates of a parallel-plate

Question

A dielectric material is inserted between the charged plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. Do the following quantities increase, decrease, or remain the same as equilibrium is reestablished?

1. Charge on plates (plates remain connected to battery)
2. Electric potential energy (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric)
3.Capacitance (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric)
4. Voltage between plates (plates remain connected to battery)
5. Charge on plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric)
6. Capacitance (plates remain connected to battery)
7. Electric potential energy (plates remain connected to battery)
8. Voltage between plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric)
