If the process of bringing them together increased their potential energy, that
means that if you let go of them, they would decrease their potential energy by
flying apart again. That image, in turn, tells you that in order to bring them
together, you had to push. They preferred not to get any closer, and in order to
make it happen, you had to put in some work. In fact, the work you put in is the
source of the increase in potential energy. All of this says that the charges have
the same sign ... either both positive or both negative ... and their natural reaction
to each other is to be repelled.

Light rays are bent and brought by a refraction.
Why does a ball sitting on a shelf have gravitational potential energy?
Because potential energy is directly proportional to all the factors that yield it's value. Potential Energy = mass * gravitational acceleration * height So, with everything else being constant increasing the height will increase the potential energy.

If they are brought together by their ends they'll repel each other. In other way, they'll attract each other.

When an electron is brought near a negatively charge plate its electric potential energy is?
As an electron is brought closer to a negatively charged plate, its potential energy increases. Since like charges repel, the electron has to be "brought" near the negatively charged plate ... it'll never go there on its own. You have to push it there, meaning you have to do work on it, and that work adds to the potential energy of the electron. As soon as you let it go, it'll whizz AWAY from the negatively charged plate, and that energy you put into it will turn into the kinetic energy of a hasty retreat.
Two charges are brought together This results in a corresponding increast in potential energy What can you say about the sign of the two charges Explain?
The charges are the same. To increase the potential energy, the agent must do + work on the charges. If the agent must do + work, then the charges are resisting being brought together.
