The magnitude of the electric field is 1154 N/C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force experienced by a charged particle in an electric field is given by

$F=qE$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the magnitude of the electric field

In this problem, we have:

$q=2.6\cdot 10^{-9} C$ is the magnitude of the charge

$F=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}N$ is the magnitude of the force

Solving for E, we find the magnitude of the electric field:

$E=\frac{F}{q}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{2.6\cdot 10^{-9}}=1154 N/C$
