To solve the problem of finding the distance between equipotential surfaces whose potentials differ by 50 V due to an infinite non-conducting sheet with a surface charge density of `σ = 0.10 μC/m²`, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Electric Field due to the Infinite Sheet The electric field (E) produced by an infinite non-conducting sheet with surface charge density `σ` is given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} \] where `ε_0` is the permittivity of free space, approximately \(8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N m}^2\). ...
