Abstract

We consider two point-like charges in electrostatic interaction between them within the framework of a nonlinear model, associated with QED, that provides finiteness of their field energy. We find the common field of the two charges in a dipole-like approximation, where the separation between them RR is much smaller than the observation distance r:r: with the linear accuracy with respect to the ratio R/rR/r, and in the opposite approximation, where Rr,R\gg r, up to the the term quadratic in the ratio r/Rr/R. The consideration fulfilled proposes the law a+bR1/3a+b R^{1/3} for the energy, when the charges are close to one another, R0R\rightarrow 0. This leads to the singularity of the force between them to be R2/3R^{-2/3}, which is weaker than Coulomb law R2R^{-2}.
