The strength of the electric field approaches zero
The strength of an electric field depends on the charge that causes it, and on the distance from the charge.
An electric field gets stronger the closer you get to a charge exerting that field. Distance and field strength are inversely proportional. When distance is increased, field strength decreases. The opposite is true as well. Additionally, field strength varies as the inverse square of the distance between the charge and the observer. Double the distance and you will find that there is 1/22 or 1/4th the electric field strength as there was at the start of your experiment.
The strength of the electric field is a scalar quantity. But it's the magnitude of thecomplete electric field vector.At any point in space, the electric field vector is the strength of the force, and thedirection in which it points, that would be felt by a tiny positive charge located there.

As the distance from a charged particle increases the strength of its electric field DECREASES.

That depends on the strength of the electric field, and on the length of time the electron has been experiencing it. An electron in an electric field accelerates uniformly.
Electric field strength depends on direction and magnitude because it is a vector quantity.
No. The strength of the electric field remains unchanged regardless of your proximity. However, the effects of the electric field on you are more pronounced as you move closer to it.
The amount of charge that produces the field and on the distance from the charge. (Novanet)
The magnitude of the electric potential is dependent upon the particle's charge and the electric field strength.
