Problem 18: The electric potential in a certain region is given by the equation V(x,y,z) = 3αx2y3 - 2γx2y4z2 where the potential is in volts when the positions are given in meters. Part (d) The constants in this equation are α = 5.2 V/m5 and γ = 1.39 V/m8. Using this information, calculate the magnitude of the electric field at the point (x1,y1,z1) = (-5.0, 2.0, 1.5) m in units of newtons per coulomb.
