versally known as Coulomb’s Law [51]. Hence he saw a force field between these two<br />

bodies which can be represented from the from this equation below.<br />

F = 1 q1q2<br />

4πεo r2 12<br />

(2.1)<br />

Here F is electrostatic force, r is the distance between the charged bodies, q1,<br />

q2 are the charges on the respective bodies and εo is the permittivity of free space.<br />

The electric field can be defined as force a charged body experiences per unit<br />

charge. The unit of electric field is Newton per coulomb ( N /C) which is equivalent to<br />

volts per meter ( V /m). If E is the electric field, F is the coulombs force experienced<br />

by the charged body with charge Q then<br />

E = F<br />

Q<br />

(2.2)<br />

Electric field is dependent on the dielectric constant of the medium. So if E0 is<br />

the electric field in the free space and E is the Electric field in the medium with the<br />

relative permittivity of ε.<br />

E = εE0<br />

if, εo = 8.854 × 10 −12 and εr is the relative permittivity of the medium then,<br />

ε = ε0εr<br />

The energy (U) stored by an electric field is given by<br />

U = 1<br />
