The electric field charge should be in consistent units with the atomic charges in the prmtop (kcal/mol). It converts the overall charge being used into internal units. If that's what you're asking...?

Dear Lin,
Thank you very much for your answer. Let me ask one more question: which
is the conversion factor between kcal/(mol*A*e) to newton/coulomb for the
xyz components of the electric field ?
Greeting,
Hector.

The chemists are a strange class of mortals impelled by an almost insane
impulse to seek their pleasure among smoke and vapor, soot and flame,
poisons and poverty; yet among all these evils I seem to live so
sweetly, that I may die if I would change places with the Persian king.
-- Johann Joachim Becher, 1635-1682.
