Let, V(r1) and V(r2) be the electric potentials of the field E at the points having position vectors r1 and r2.
 
Work done in bringing q1 from infinity to r1against the external field = q1V(r1)
 
Work done in bringing q2 from infinity to r2against the external field= q2V(r2)
 
Work done on q2 against the force exterted by q1 = 1/4πεo.(q1q2/r12)
 
Here, r12 is the distance between q1 and q2.
 
So, the total potential energy of the system= The work done in assembling the two charges
 
U= q1V(r1)+q2V(r2)+1/4πεo.(q1q2/r12)
