Assume you turn on a faucet and let a very thin stream of water flow. You bring an electrically charged plastic rod very close to the stream of water (without touching it). What will happen? The water stream bends toward the plastic rod if the rod is positively charged and away from the plastic rod if the rod is negatively charged. The water stream always bends toward the plastic rod. The water stream is not affected by the plastic rod. The water stream always bends away from the plastic rod. The water stream bends toward the plastic rod if the rod is negatively charged and away from the plastic rod if the rod is positively charged.
