Answer

${\bf 0.16}\;\rm V/m$

Work Step by Step

The current density is given by $$J =\dfrac{I }{A }=\sigma E$$ hence, $$E=\dfrac{I }{A \sigma}$$ $$E=\dfrac{I }{\pi r^2 \sigma_{\rm iron}}$$ Plug the known; $$E=\dfrac{(5)}{\pi (1\times 10^{-3})^2 (1\times 10^7)}$$ $$E=\color{red}{\bf 0.16}\;\rm V/m$$
