Question

If an electron is brought towards

another electron, the electric potential
energy of the system​

Answer 1

The electron has negative charge. When an electron is approaching towards another electron, then due to same negative charge repulsive force is produced between them. So, to bring them closer a work is done against this repulsive force. This work is stored in the form of electrostatic potential energy. Thus, electrostatic potential energy of system increases

In bringing an electron toward another electron , work has to be done ( since same charges repel each other ) The work done stored as electrostatic potential energy and hence , electrostatic potential energy of the system increases
