The charge at nucleus is q = 1.6x10-19 C
The distance of first orbit from nucleus is r = 53 picometer = 53x10-12 m
The electric field due to nucleus at the first orbit E = (1/4pie epsilon not)x(q/r2)
E = 9x109 x[1.6x10-19 /(53x10-12)2]
on calculating E = 2.72x1013 N/ m2

The Charge of the Nucleus q = 1.6x10^-19 C
The distance of first orbit from the Nucleus r = 53 picometer = 53x10^-12
The electric field form the nucleus at first bohr orbit is E = (1/4pie epsilon not)*q/ r^2
E = (9x10^9)x[1.6x10^-19/(53x10^-12)^2]
On calculating E = 2.72x1013 N/m^2
