As we learnt in

Potential Energy Of System Of two Charge -

U=\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r}  \left ( S.I \right )

U= \frac{Q_{1}Q_{2}}{r}  \left ( C.G.S \right ) 

 

- wherein

K=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}}

 

 U = \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r} = \frac{K-\left ( -e \right )\left ( -e \right )}{r} = \frac{Ke^{2}}{r}

If bring two electrons together then r decreases, U increases.
