What is a point charge?

The charge on any body can be expressed as an integral multiple of basic unit of charge, i.e. charge on one electron. This phenomena is called

Two point charges +q and -q are separated by a distance d. Except at infinity, where can the electric potential due to these two point charges be zero?

If a point charge placed at any point on the axis of an electric dipole at some large distance experiences a force F, then what force will act on the point charge when its distance from the dipole is doubled ?

A positive charge +q is located at a point. What is the work done, if a test charge q_(0) is carried around this charge along a circle of radius r about this point?
