Answer:

The electric potential energy of any given charge or system of changes is termed as the total work done by an external agent in bringing the charge or the system of charges from infinity to the present configuration without undergoing any acceleration.

Definition: Electric potential energy is defined as the total potential energy a unit charge will possess if located at any point in the outer space.

Electric potential energy is a scalar quantity and possesses only magnitude and no direction. It is measured in terms of Joules and is denoted by V. It has the dimensional formula of ML2T-3A-1.

There are two key elements on which the electric potential energy of an object depends.

It’s own electric charge.

It’s relative position with other electrically charged objects.

A charge placed in an electric field possesses potential energy and is measured by the work done in moving the charge from infinity to that point against the electric field. If two charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance d, the electric potential energy of the system is;

U = 1/(4πεo) × [q1q2/d]
