[CP2K:2809] Re: Applying electric field

[Teodoro Laino]

to make it more clear: with EXTERNAL_POTENTIAL you specify a potential 
V(x,y,z) which provide an energy term E defined
as : E = \int \rho(x,y,z) V(x,y,z) dx dy dz

where \rho is the total density.
this should put you in the condition to proceed with your dimensional 
analysis.
