Answer:

C. 5.6 × 10^11 N/C

Explanation:

The electric field [tex]E[/tex] at a distance [tex]R[/tex] from a charge [tex]Q[/tex] is given by

[tex]E = k\dfrac{Q}{R^2}[/tex]

where [tex]k = 9*10^9Nm/C[/tex] is the coulomb's constant.

Now, in our case

[tex]R = 0.0075m[/tex]

[tex]Q = 0.0035C[/tex];

therefore,

[tex]E = (9*10^9)\dfrac{0.0035C}{(0.0075m)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{E = 5.6*10^{11}N/C.}[/tex]

which is choice C from the options given (at least it resembles it).
