    r = 6.5*10^-3 m

    Explanation:

    I'm assuming you meant to ask the diameters of the disk, if so, here's it

    Given

    Quantity of charge on electron, Q = 1.4*10^9

    Electric field strength, e = 1.9*10^5

    q = Q * 1.6*10^-19

    q = 2.24*10^-10

    E = q/ε (0) A, making A the subject of formula, we have

    A = q / [E * ε (0) ], where

    ε (0) = 8.85*10^-12

    A = 2.24*10^-10 / (1.9*10^5 * 8.85*10^-12)

    A = 2.24*10^-10 / 1.6815*10^-6

    A = 1.33*10^-4 m²

    Remember A = πr²

    1.33*10^-4 = 3.142 * r²

    r² = 1.33*10^-4 / 3.142

    r² = 4.23*10^-5

    r = 6.5*10^-3 m
