Source sentences:
text: Therefore, the electric potential is continuous across an idealized surface charge.
text: Practically, electric potential is always a continuous function in space; Otherwise, the spatial derivative of it will yield a field with infinite magnitude, which is practically impossible.
text: Must the electric potential always be continuous everywhere?
text: The electric potential is continuous across a surface charge and the electric field is discontinuous, but not infinite; this is unless the surface charge consists of a dipole layer.
