    2.4 * 10 ²¹ N/C

    Explanation:

    The lead-196 nucleus has 82 proton

    Q (charge on the nucleus) = 82e where e = 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹ C

    Q = 82 * 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1.314 * 10⁻¹⁷ C

    vp (volume of proton) = 4/3π r³

    V, volume of lead nucleus = 4/3πR³

    4/3πR³ = 196 * 4/3π r³

    R = ∛ (196r³) = 5.81 r = 5.81 * 1.20 ✕ 10⁻¹⁵ m = 6.97 * 10⁻¹⁵ m

    magnitude of the electric field = KQ/R² = 8.99 * 10⁹ * 1.314 * 10⁻¹⁷ C / (6.97 * 10⁻¹⁵ m) ² = 2.4 * 10 ²¹ N/C
