Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction and Approach.

Given that:-

V=5Ax-3Bx2y+2Cyz2

 

Since, it is known that Electric field(E) is the negative derivative of potential w.r.t distance. Hence,

E=-dVdr

 

Also, Electric field(E) is a vector quantity which is given by:-

E=Exi+Eyj+Ezk

Where i,j and k are unit vectors along x,y and z direction respectively.
