The magnitude of the electric field is $1.51\cdot 10^{10}N/C$

Explanation:

The electrostatic force experienced by an electric charge immersed in an electric field is given by

$F=qE$

where:

q is the charge of the particle

E is the strength of the electric field

F is the force

In this problem, we have:

$q=+4.3\cdot 10^{-18}C$ is the charge of the particle

$F=6.5\cdot 10^{-8} N$ is the force

Therefore, we can find the electric field by solving the equation for E:

$E=\frac{F}{q}=\frac{6.5\cdot 10^{-8}}{4.3\cdot 10^{-18}}=1.51\cdot 10^{10}N/C$
