Assertion: A point charge is brought in an electric field. The field at a nearby point will increase, whatever be the nature of the charge. Reason: The electric field is independent of the nature of charge.

One going away from a point charge, the electric field due to the charge decreases. This is also true for a small electric-dipole. Does the electric field decreases at the same rate in both cases ?
