The electric potential in a volume of space is given by V(x, y, z) = 2x2 - 3y2 + 5z.
Determine the electric field in this region at the coordinate (3.4.5),

The electric field at (x,y,z) its equal to the negative of the gradient if the electric potential.

We have

V(x, y, z) = 2x² - 3y² + 5z

so

E(x, y, z) = -grad(V) = -(dV/dx i + dV/dy j + dV/dz k)

where d/d(variable) is meant to be a partial derivative with respect to that variable. The partial derivatives are

dV/dx = 4x

dV/dy = -6y

dV/dz = 5

and so the electric field at any point is

E(x, y, z) = -4x i + 6y j - 5k

and at (3, 4, 5) it is

E(3, 4, 5) = -12i + 24j - 5k
