Final answer:
To find the work done by the electric field on a charge, multiply the electric field strength by the distance traveled. However, the question does not provide the necessary values to calculate the work.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the work done by the electric field on a charge, we need to multiply the electric field strength by the distance the charge travels. The equation for work is given by W = Fd, where W is the work done, F is the force, and d is the distance.
In this case, the force experienced by the charge is given by F = qE, where q is the charge and E is the electric field strength. We can rearrange this equation to find the work done: W = qEd. Plugging in the values given in the question, we have W = (2.90 nC)(E)(distance).
Since the question does not provide the electric field strength or the distance, we are unable to calculate the work done by the electric field on the charge.
