"I am always open to improve myself" I claim the same, but like with these vector derivatives in many dimensions, there are so many directions that I am forced to pick only one to work on, and let the others wait...
Other way to look at this: you can't get such an electric field configuration with finite equipment ( an infinitely wide and high flat-plate capacitor).
Same thing happens with infinitely long wires. Didn't we have a thread on that already ?
E.g. along the line y = x the E field is a constant vector, parallel with ##d\vec s## . So ##\vec E \cdot d\vec s = |\vec E|ds## and ##\int |\vec E|ds = |\vec E|\int ds \ \ ##: 'unbounded'.gracy said:Why can't we take V = 0 at infinity as a reference in here
