I got the workings,But my calculator gave me this answer"(1*10^-2)

the workings are probably correct but i think myschool used
e=q/f
=1.0*10^-7 / 0.01 = 10^5
instead of; f/q
= 0.01/1.0*10^-7
=10^-9

qE

Where:

F is the magnitude of the force (in Newtons, N)
q is the magnitude of the point charge (in Coulombs, C)
E is the magnitude of the electric field strength
