I know that energy stored in electric field / unit volume = 1/2 ε E2

so can I say that for any configuration calculating ∫ ½ ε E2 over whole space - gives me the potential energy stored stored in the system

for instance
for →
Q1 °

° Q2 ...separated by distance 'd'

∫ ½ ε E2 over whole space = KQ1Q2 / d

Please check your final equation. You integrated energy density over space and got a force!

Oh ! I meant interacting potential energy

have corrected that !

i have my question at the top !

nobody solved it so , i could have counter question
 
by the way sorry if was curt any way
