How is electric potential energy similar to gravatational potential energy? Use terms of charge, potential, mass, gravity and height
The only difference between gravitational potential energy and electric potential energy is that the force the produced by gravitational potential is always attractive but for electric potential it has both properties attractive and repulsive.
Gravitational potential energy as well as for electric potential energy, the potential energy is inversely proportional to distance between the particles (charged).
But for electric potential energy the type of object as well as
the size of the object also matters.
Also for gravitational potential energy the size and mass of the
object matters.
Overall the potential energy are inversely proportional to distance. (but it still varies).
