Homework Statement
(This was part of an assignment that we had to create, so the question is one of my own, although I'm not quite comfortable with this area, hence why I'm asking for help) Calculate electric field strength of a positive point charge of 1.3x10-7C that is 5.3x10-4m away from a proton (+1.6x10-19C).

The Attempt at a Solution
As put into calculator:
(9e9)*(1.6e-19)*(1.3e-7) = 1.8e-18
(5.3e-4)^2 = 2.8e-7
(1.8e-18)/(2.8e-7) = 6.4e-12
6.4e-12 = Electric Field Strength?
