    In order to calculate the electric field strength, we may use the formula:

    E = kQ/d²

    Where Q is the charge and d is the distance between the charge and the test charge. Substituting the values into the equation:

    E = (9 x 10⁹) (8.7 x 10⁻⁹) / (3.5²)

    E = 6.39 Newtons per coulomb

    Therefore, the answer is 6.4 Newtons/coulomb
