To identify the set with the stronger interaction between two sets of electrically charged objects, the student can ask:

**"How far apart are the objects in each interaction?"**

The strength of the interaction between charged objects is affected by the distance between them, according to Coulomb's law. The closer the objects are to each other, the stronger the interaction will be. Therefore, this question directly relates to the strength of the electrical interactions.
