Electric potential energy, or electrostatic potential energy, is a potential energy (measured in joules) that results from conservative Coulomb forces and is associated with the configuration of a particular set of point charges within a defined system. read more
Electric potential energy is the energy a charge has due to its position relative to other charges. By separating two charges to a radius r, you are giving the charges electric potential energy relative to each other. read more
Electric Potential Energy Potential energy can be defined as the capacity for doing work which arises from position or configuration. In the electrical case, a charge will exert a force on any other charge and potential energy arises from any collection of charges. read more
