Question

Why does a negatively charged rod force a stream of water away from the rod?

Answer 1

Answer:

The negatively charged rod will force a stream of water away from the rod because of the "attractive force. "

Explanation:

As we know that water molecules have been randomly arranged. So when a negatively charged rod is put near the stream of water, the molecules present in the water start rotating, unless the positive side will be close to the negative side of the rod. Which results in the generation of the attraction force. Hence, the stream of the water forces away the negatively charged rod.  When the water molecules have polarized molecules in it the effect will be stronger than the dust.
