Answer

$E = 1.25~N/C$

Work Step by Step

When $v = 0$, the force on the electron due to the magnetic field is zero. Therefore, when $v=0$, $~~F_{net} = F_E$ We can find the magnitude of the electric field: $F_E = \vert q \vert~E = 2\times 10^{-19}~N$ $E = \frac{2\times 10^{-19}~N}{\vert q \vert}$ $E = \frac{2\times 10^{-19}~N}{1.6\times 10^{-19}~C}$ $E = 1.25~N/C$
