Electrostatic Force Data Analysis

About:

This printable physics worksheet guides students in Grades 9–12 through analyzing electrostatic force data in a jigsaw group activity. Students first predict how distance and charge affect electrostatic force, then analyze assigned data conditions and compare results across groups. The worksheet asks students to identify relationships between force and distance, evaluate the effect of charge on similarly and oppositely charged objects, and connect findings to real-world phenomena like lightning.
