Dust grains in the Saturnian rings have different origins and fates as is the case of the high speed dust streams escaping from the Saturnian magnetosphere or the spokes at B-ring. In any case dust grains must have a degree of energization in order to show the dynamical behavior observed from the Voyager to Cassini missions. In this work we propose that the grains may get the energy from several sources that could be a stochastic electric field. Particularly we have explored the dynamics of dust particles at E-ring under the combined influence of gravitational, magnetic and stochastic electric field. We have found three different regions of energization (I, II and III) supposing that the grains are micron-sized and their electric charge remains constant.
