Mission SE2: Charge Interactions

Mission SE2 pertains to the rules describing how charged objects interact with each other and with neutral objects.. The mission consists of 37 questions organized into 10 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
 

Learning Outcomes

• The student should be able to identify the connection between the type of charge on an object and the type of interaction (attractive, repulsive, or none) with other objects.
• The student should be able to analyze known information about the charge interactions of a system of three balloons in order to draw a conclusion about the charge on one of the balloons.
