Lets Bend Water without touching it!
What will you need to bend water?
- Running water from tap or sink
- Wool sweater
- A plastic comb
How to do it?
- Turn on the water, so a very thin stream comes out.
- Run the comb very quickly on the Sweater.
- Then bring the teeth of the comb about 3-4 in. away from the running water. (If you don't know what the teeth are, ask your parents!)
- Now you will see the water bend as in the picture.
What happens?
If you watch carefully, you will see that the water bends toward the comb. By rubbing the comb on the sweater, it got a positive charge.
