The potential energy is due to the electromagnetic force, one of the 4 fundamental forces along with gravitation and the strong and weak forces. For example, two electrons that are 1 nanometer apart have a different potential energy than two electrons 1 meter apart. Moving a charge through an electrical potential involves work. It takes work to put two electrons closer together. Two electrons allowed to move apart can do work. | |

The electric potential difference is created because of the force that creates the difference between minus and plus (electroncurrent). My fault to say that the electrons created the uniform field, instead it is the field lines between two parallel conducting plates with oppositely charges. I would still like to hear about the other thoughts I wrote. Thank you. | |
