| Jun 20, 2021 at 17:46 | comment | added | SHIKHAR CHAMOLI | @mikestone what is unphysical in linear charge distribution?, And what is not in a surface charge distribution like in hollow sphere, in which even on surface,(at the location of charge) field doesn't become large?? | |
| Jun 20, 2021 at 17:43 | comment | added | mike stone | But then the electric field of a point charge is also infinite at $r=0$. Is it at all surprising that at unphysically concentrated charge distribution leads to an unphysical answer? | |
| Jun 20, 2021 at 17:42 | comment | added | SHIKHAR CHAMOLI | @mikestone I meant a line charge , with linear charge density lambda.. sorry if the question lacked information. | |
