Electric field E has the components


    E%5Bx%5D = -%28%28dV%29%2F%28dx%29%29,

    E%5By%5D = -%28%28dV%29%2F%28dy%29%29,

    E%5Bz%5D = -%28%28dV%29%2F%28dz%29%29.



So, take the partial derivatives of the potential V(x,y,z) in each direction x, y, z,

and you will get the electric field vector.



Then substitute the values  x= 1,  y= 1  and  z= 1  into these expressions, and calculate.



The vector which you get at the end, will be your answer.
