<jats:p> Starting from the linearized Klimontovich equations and the pair approximation we study the probability distribution of the electric microfield. We deduce the separation of the total microfield distribution into a high and a low frequency component. We further prove that each of these com-ponents can be calculated from a model of uncorrelated, dynamically screened particles. The low frequency component, which is of prominent interest for applications, is evaluated. The results show devations from all earlier theories.</jats:p>
