Question

Definition of electric potential energy due to charge

Answer 1

Electric Potential Energy. Potential energy can be defined as the capacity for doing work which arises from position or configuration. In theelectrical case, a charge will exert a force on any other charge andpotential energy arises from any collection of charges.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.

It is
