As an object moves further away from the surface of the earth, it gains gravitational potential energy. As an electron moves further away from a positive plate, it gains electrical potential energy.
Mechanical energy is the sum of electrical potential energy and gravitational energy.
Electrical potential energy is the same as gravitational potential energy
As objects move away from any positive object, the neutrally charged object will gain gravitational potential energy and electrical potential energy.
