class DielectricConstant(AnalysisBase):
    r"""
    Computes the average dipole moment

    .. math::
        \boldsymbol M = \sum_i q_i \boldsymbol r_i


    where :math:`q_i` is the charge and :math:`\boldsymbol r_i` the position of
    atom :math:`i` in the given :class:`MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup`.
    Also, the static dielectric constant

    .. math::
        \varepsilon = 1 + \frac{\langle M^2 \rangle - \langle M \rangle^2}
                              {3 \varepsilon_ 0 V k_B T}


    is calculated for a system in tin foil boundary conditions, which is
    the usual case if electrostatics are handled with a Ewald summation
    technique. See [Neumann1983]_ for details on the derivation.

    Parameters
    ----------
    atomgroup : MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup
      Atomgroup on which the analysis is executed
    temperature : float
      Temperature (Kelvin) at which the system has been simulated
    make_whole : bool
      Make molecules whole; If the input already contains whole molecules
      this can be disabled to gain speedup
    verbose : bool
      Show detailed progress of the calculation

    Attributes
    ----------
    results.M : numpy.ndarray
      Directional dependant dipole moment
      :math:`\langle \boldsymbol M \rangle` in :math:`eÅ`.
    results.M2 : numpy.ndarray
      Directional dependant squared dipole moment
      :math:`\langle \boldsymbol M^2 \rangle` in :math:`(eÅ)^2`
    results.fluct : float
      Directional dependant dipole moment fluctuation
      :math:`\langle \boldsymbol M^2 \rangle - \langle \boldsymbol M \rangle^2`
      in :math:`(eÅ)^2`
    results.eps : numpy.ndarray
      Directional dependant static dielectric constant
    results.eps_mean : float
      Static dielectric constant

    Example
    -------
    Create a :class:`DielectricConstant` instance by supplying an
    :class:`~MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup`,
    then use the :meth:`run` method::

      import MDAnalysis as mda
      from MDAnalysis.analysis.dielectric import DielectricConstant
      from MDAnalysisTests.datafiles import PSF_TRICLINIC, DCD_TRICLINIC

      # Load a pure water system
      universe = mda.Universe(PSF_TRICLINIC, DCD_TRICLINIC)

      diel = DielectricConstant(universe.atoms)
      diel.run()
      print(diel.results)

    The static dielectric constant of the provided atomgroup is saved
    within the :class:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.base.Results` attribute.
