= 0.0298V

Explanation:

Electric field between two conductor = σ / ε₀

σ = 33pC/m²

= 33 * 10⁻¹²C/m²

ε₀ = 8.85 * 10 ⁻¹²C²/Nm²

E = 33 * 10⁻¹² / 8.85 * 10 ⁻¹²

= 3.7288N/C

potential difference between two conductors = Ed

where d = 8mm = 8 * 10 ⁻³m

V = 3.7288 * 8 * 10 ⁻³

= 29.83 * 10 ⁻³

= 0.0298V
