What is electrical potential energy?

Question

What is electrical potential energy?

Answer 1

A battery, A capacitor, maybe also whatever it happens before a lighting bolt.

Answer 2

Voltage would be the equivalent of potential energy, and current would be the equivalent of kinetic energy in electricity.

Answer 3

well the specimen......... jk idk

Answer 4

Electric potential is the potential difference between any two charges

or

it is the energy needed to move a charge from one point to another

Answer 5

An example would be a battery that is not hooked up to anything.  It has the potential to provide an electrical charge and a potential difference (voltage) to power a circuit, but until the circuit is completed it doesn't do anything.

Did you mean to ask what is electrical potential difference?  That's also known as VOLTAGE.  It's a measure of the difference in electrical charge (can be positive or negative) between two points of reference.
