Abstract:
Electric field is a phenomenon that encompasses every area of science on account of its sheer importance in every area of scientific research. External field is closely intertwined to charged species and is a useful tool to understand electrostatic interaction in such systems. Understanding the interaction between an electric field and chemical/biological systems of interest is an emerging area of research. In this chapter, we will provide a brief introduction to the concept of electric field, its relation to charge and its widespread applicability in our daily life. Also, we shall shed light on the instances of recent theoretical and experimental studies directed towards unraveling the role of external and internal electric field in relevant systems.
