Answer:


A. Voltage

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that electric potential is defined as the work done to move a unit charge from one potential to other potential.

Here the unit charge is moved from lower potential to higher potential then in that case the work done to move the charge is stored in the form of potential energy

this is given as


V = (W)/(q)

so here we can say that the correct answer for the amount of potential energy for each charge is given as


A. Voltage
