TASK 1
Write or create a description of how a Van Der Graaff generator works. IMPORTANT - think about how charges move, many common representations are incorrect! DO NOT JUST RELY ON AN EXISTING EXPLANATION.
Your explanation could be written, a video or a presentation - just remember to post it to your blog and paste a link to it in the comments section so that we can peer rate it.
Now let's look at the unit of charge - the Coulomb

TASK 2
Take this quiz to test your basic understanding of charged particles.
And that is this task done! But that value for electron charge leads us nicely onto task 3...
