Homework Statement


What should I do when I calculate the potential of point charges at the point of one of the point charges?

Homework Equations


The definition of a potential from point charges are:
[tex]\phi(\textbf{r}) = (4\pi \epsilon_0)^{-1}\sum_{i}[q_i |\textbf{r}-\textbf{r}_{q_i}|^{-1}] + C[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution


Setting [itex]q_i |\textbf{r}-\textbf{r}_{q_i}|^{-1}=0[/itex] when [itex]\textbf{r}-\textbf{r}_{q_i}=\textbf{0}[/itex]. Haven't seen this anywhere in the lecture material though, but I am guessing that is what one should do. If so, what is the "real" definition of the potential?

The potential diverges as the location of the point charges. It's not defined there.
