Electric field and potential: In a certain region, the electric potential due to a charge distribution is given by the equation V(x,y,z) = 3x2y2 + yz3 – 2z3x, where x, y, and z are measured in meters and V is in volts. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field vector at the position (x,y,z) = (1.0, 1.0, 1.0).
