A flight instructor reports about a right flap assembly that jammed at the inboard flap track on a cessna C-182 aircraft during flap retraction. The right flap outboard leading edge continued to retract until the asymmetric position of the flap overloaded the flap motor; popping a circuit breaker.

Narrative:
On a go around in VFR conditions my student selected the flaps to 'up' on the climb out and started to have control issues. He asked me if I had done anything to the airplane I had not and stated as such. He continued to have control issues; I called for my airplane and took control of the airplane. I did a quick troubleshoot and saw that the bottom half of the right flap had not come up and was twisted in the down position. The left flap was full up and the circuit breaker was popped. I reset the breaker and put the flaps back to the position that matched the left side flaps. We then landed the aircraft without further incident.
