Electric Field of a Point Charge

[Apteronotus]

Hi,

A simple question:
Is the electric field of a point charge infinite at the charge itself?
Coulomb's Law clearly seems to say so, but I just want to be certain.

Thanks

Yes.

But, the electric field on the inside of the charge is zero.

We are talking about a point charge; all the charge concentrated at a single point. There is no "inside".

Even if the charge isn't a point charge, it makes a difference whether it's a conductor (which has zero E field inside, in electrostatics) or a non-conductor (which has a non-zero E field inside, in general).

Thank you all kindly for your replies.
