Have you wondered yet what the smallest magnitude of a charge can be? Or how someone figured it out? Here is a brief (1-2 minute) read that explains the experiment you are about to simulate.

Have you also wanted some practice with scientific notation and electric field for this unit? I've got you!

I would have printed this one out for you, but since I'm not here, it's online. Help each other out. Use whiteboards or whatever to work through this. You don't need to show your work on the page, but you'll find it easiest if you do work out the equations somewhere before plugging them into Sheets or Desmos.
