Answer:

E = -477 N/C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Charge,
q=-4.77* 10^(-9)\ C

We need to find the electric field at a point 0.3 m to the right of the charge.

We know that the electric field at a distance r is given by :


E=(kq)/(r^2)\\\\E=(9* 10^9* 4.77* 10^(-9))/((0.3)^2)\\\\E=-477\ N/C

So, the electric field is -477 N/C.
