What is the strength of an electric field that will put a force of
1.28 x 10-15 N on a proton?

E =  7,490.6 N/C

Explanation:

If we have a field E, and a particle with a charge q, the force that the particle experiences is:

F = E*q

In this case, we know that the force is:

F = 1.2*10^(-15) N

And we know that the particle is a proton, where the charge of a proton is:

q = 1.602*10^(-19) C

Then we can replace these two values in the equation to get:

1.2*10^(-15) N = E*1.602*10^(-19) C

We just need to isolate E.

(1.2*10^(-15) N)/(1.602*10^(-19) C) = E

7,490.6 N/C = E

That is the strength of the electric field.
