Lesson Summary. 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. When you release those charges, they will attract or repel, releasing that energy.
1 Potential energy is a type of energy that is hidden in some way.
