Let the point charge be Q. Next, we may put a charge q to the point with distance r from Q. Therefore, the electric force will be
Here k is a constant equal to
The modulus of the electric field is
The direction of the field is towards the vector from Q if it is positive and to Q if it is negative.
So we may rewrite it as
In case of non-vacuum, we should add a factor
