Jan 2, 2018 at 4:11 comment added Bill N When you say potential do you actually mean potential energy? In dealing with charged particles, it's important to realize there is a distinction between the two. Also, potential energy belongs to a system, not to individual particles.

Feb 5, 2016 at 14:04 comment added honeste_vivere There is no increase in the net energy of the two particles. Some of B's initial KE is converted into KE for A. By the way, you cannot start with two charged particles at rest in isolation without some external forces at play to begin with because the electric field from each acts over all distances (given enough time).
