Answer

$E = 150~N/C$

Work Step by Step

We can find $E_x$: $E_x = -\frac{dV}{dx}$ $E_x = -2.00yz^2$ $E_x = (-2.00)(-2.00)(4.00)^2$ $E_x = 64.0~N/C$ We can find $E_y$: $E_y = -\frac{dV}{dy}$ $E_y = -2.00xz^2$ $E_y = (-2.00)(3.00)(4.00)^2$ $E_y = -96.0~N/C$ We can find $E_z$: $E_z = -\frac{dV}{dz}$ $E_z = -4.00xyz$ $E_z = (-4.00)(3.00)(-2.00)(4.00)$ $E_z = 96.0~N/C$ We can find the magnitude of the electric field: $E = \sqrt{()^2+()^2+()^2}$ $E = \sqrt{(64.0~N/C)^2+(-96.0~N/C)^2+(96.0~N/C)^2}$ $E = 150~N/C$
