Electric 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 . An object may be said to have electric potential energy by virtue of either its own electric charge or its relative position to other electrically charged objects .
