Can the electrostatic force be infinite in magnitude?

2 $begingroup$ The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges $Q$ and $q$ separated by a distance $r$ is given by $$F=frac{kqQ}{r^2}$$ but the minimum value of $r$ must be $10^{-15} rm m$ . Therefore, my question is can the electrostatic force ever be infinite? forces electrostatics electric-fields singularities coulombs-law share | cite | improve this question edited yesterday Qmechanic ♦ 106k 12 197 1227 asked yesterday Aditya Aditya 17 3...
