Coulomb Force on Water

coulomb force on water1

coulomb force on water 2

Charge teflon rod with fake fur (shown in above photo) by rubbing together.

When charged rod is brought into the proximity of water stream, attraction between water and charged rod will cause stream to deflect.

  • Rod and fur located in L01, section A-1.
  • Bucket with hole, and tub, located in L35, section G-3.
