Answer

$q=1.11\times10^{-10}C=1.11\times10^{-4}\mu C$

Work Step by Step

Electric field strength is given as: $E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_\circ}.\frac{q}{r^2}$ Here $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_\circ}=K=8.99\times10^9\frac{N.m^2}{C^2}$ Therefore, $E=K.\frac{q}{r^2}$ $q=\frac{E.r^2}{K}$ Putting the values in the above formula and solving: $q=\frac{(1.0).(1.0)^2}{8.99\times10^9}$ $q=1.11\times10^{-10}C=1.11\times10^{-4}\mu C$
