We show that it is possible to generate a random walk with an electrostatic field by means of several parallel infinite charged planes in which the surface charge distribution could be either ±ó. We formulate the problem of this stochastic process by using a rate equation for the most probable value for the electrostatic field subject to the appropriate transition probabilities according to the electrostatic boundary conditions. Our model gives rise to a stochastic law when the charge distribution is not deterministic. The probability distribution of the electrostatic field intensity, the mean value of the electrostatic force and the energy density are obtained.
