We present a general theory of electric field effects in liquid crystals where the dielectric tensor depends on the orientation order. As applications, we examine (i) the director fluctuations in nematic states in an electric field and (ii) the deformation of the nematic order around a charged particle. Some predictions are made for these effects.
