What do you mean by electric potential energy of a system of charges?

Assertion(A): In bringing an electron towards a proton electrostatic potential energy of the system increases Reason (R ) :Potential due to proton is positive.

When a few billion electrons are added to the Earth, its electric potential rises.

An electron is confined to a tube of length L. The electron’s potential energy in one half of the tube is zero, while the potential energy in the other half is 10eV. If the electron has a total energy E = 15 eV , then the ratio of the deBroglie wavelength of the electron in the 10eV region of the tube to that in the other half is -
