    8.85 * 10 ⁻³ m

    Explanation:

    The electric field produced by infinite sheet of charge relates by

    E = σ / 2ε₀

    where σ = surface charge density = 0.1 μC/m² = 0.1 * 10⁻⁶C/m², ε₀ = 8.85 * 10⁻¹² C⁻²/Nm²

    also

    V = E Δs where Δs is the distance apart in meters, V is the voltage of the

    make E subject of the formula

    V/Δs = E

    equate the two equation

    V / Δs = σ / 2ε₀

    make Δs subject of the formula

    V2ε₀ / σ = Δs

    substitute the values into the expression

    Δs = (50 * 2 * 8.85 * 10⁻¹²) / (0.1 * 10⁻⁶) = 8.85 * 10 ⁻³ m
