Question

A girl brings a positively charged rod near a thin neutral stream of water from a tap. She observes that the water stream bends towards her. Instead, if she were to bring a negatively charged rod near to the stream, it will

(a) bend in the same direction

(b) bend in the opposite direction

(c) not bend at all

(d) bend in the opposite direction above and below the rod

Answer 1

Answer is : (a) bend in the same direction

Neutral objects are always attracted towards both positively and negatively charged objects. So, water stream still bends in same direction.
