The diameter of the conducting sphere is d = 2 cm.

The radius of the conducting sphere will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2\times10^{-2}\text{ m}}{2} \\ =1\text{ }\times10^{-2}\text{ m} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The charge on the sphere is

[tex]\begin{gathered} q=\text{ 4 nC } \\ =\text{ 4}\times10^{-9}\text{ C} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The force on the surface due to the charge is

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times\frac{q}{r^2} \\ =\frac{9\times10^9\times4\times10^{-9}}{1\times10^{-4}} \\ =36\times10^4\text{ C} \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the surface electric field strength will be
