Today we are going to bend water with the help of static energy.
What is static energy???
It is a stationary electric charge: a stationary electric charge that builds up on an insulated object such as a capacitor or a thundercloud
Lets do it??
Material required.
- A Plastic comb or plastic pen or plastic scale
- An indoor faucet
Procedure.
Turn on the faucet and do it slowly and carefully until thin stream will flow.It must be very thin at flowing.
Using comb or pen or balloon rub it to your hair.(notice your pen or plastic or balloon will be charged and it will attract positively charged material)
Then bring the comb immediately in flowing water with out touching it.You will see the water will bend for short period of time.
Making experiment real.
- Rub the plastic pen or comb many times.
- Using different size of plastic instrument.
- Using less distance from water
Working of Experiment.
The experiment credit goes to your hair.When you will run your hair all the electron will transfer to plastic instrument.As the plastic instrument has more electron it will attract the positively charged particle like paper.This goes to flowing water also.When the instrument is placed near water will bend as makes effort for attracting water.
