Coulomb's law says electrostatic field intensity varies as $1/r²$ i.e ha singularity at location of charge. now if a charge distribution is accumulation of many point charges. then for a charged metallic sphere why do we get finite potential at surface? it should hav been infinity. since it is whwre charges are located. please answer as simply possible.
