So I have a question about the electric field.
Let's say there is a postive charge in space. The electric field due to the charge only depends on the distance to that charge, right?
I get it that if you are infinitely far away, the electric field approaches zero. But what happens if the distance to the charge approaches zero? Is it infinitely large? This would mean the force acting on a charge with opposite sign would be infinitely large?
