On the electrostatic energy of two point charges

The electrostatic field energy due to two fixed point-like charges shows some peculiar features concerning the distribution in space of the field energy density of the system. Here we discuss the evaluation of the field energy and the mathematical details that lead to those peculiar and non-intuitive physical features.
