The electric field of an uniformly charged infinite surface plane is totally independent of how far away the test charge is. But isn't electric field depends upon distance by the relation $1/r^2$? I understand that if the plane is truly infinite then it does'nt matter how far away you are. But there is no such thing as infinite plane. So, is the independency of distance works in real or practical life?
