An infinite sheet of charge has a surfaces charge density of `10^-7C/m^2`. The separation between two equipotential surfce whose potentials differ by `5 V` is

A

` 0. 88 cm`

B

` 0. 88 mm`

C

` 0 .88m`

D

` 5 xx 10^(-7) m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Field due to sheet = `(sigma)/(2 in_0)` and
` C=- Ed =- (sigma) / (2 in_0 ) d`
` 5 = ( 10^(-7))/( 2 xx 8. 85 xx 10^(12)) xx d`
` d= 8.8 xx 10 10^(-4) m = 0. 88`.
