An infinite sheet of charge has surface ...

An infinite sheet of charge has surface charge density `sigma` . The separation between two equipotential surfaces, whose potential differ by V is:

A

`(sigma V)/( 2 in _(0))`

B

`(2 in_(0) V)/( sigma)`

C

`( in_(0)V)/(sigma)`

D

`(2 sigma in_(0))/(V)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`V= sigma/(2e_0).d implies d=(2V e_0)/ sigma`
