Calculating Electric Field Strength from a Point Charge

[quickslant]

You are observing the effects of a single point charge with a magnitude of +4.3 mu Columbs

calculate the strength of the electric field 3cmaway from the charge in any direction..

first i don't know why there is mu C, shouldn't it have been something like 4.3 x10^-7 C? or does mu represent something? do i need to know what that means to answer this question? someone please help

muC = μC = micro Coulomb = 10^-6 C
