  The characteristic time for the electrocoalescence of two sessile drops is
identified and verified for wide range of operating parameters such as
Ohnesorge, Electrowetting number, driving frequency and drop to surrounding
medium viscosity. Elegant mechanism is devised to circumvent the repulsion and
promote the coalescence at the merging three phase contact lines of two
electrospreading drops. With the revised definition of characteristic time
scale, we demonstrated the universality of the bridge growth at the early times
of coalescence for more than twenty different scenarios in triplicates. The
universal bridge growth can only be obtained with the consideration of proposed
time that considers the time to reach the maximum deformation in the drop,
which is always ignored while defining the characteristics time scale of
coalescence.
