The kinetic energy of an electron is transformed into potential energy **when it interacts with other electrons, decreasing its speed**.
This interaction can lead to repulsive forces between like-charged electrons, which causes a change in kinetic energy and can result in an increase in potential energy as they move further apart in an electric field.
