To charge an object by induction. : Rub a comb or a balloon on your hair. As shown in the picture 8.4 on page 54 of your textbook, take the comb near a thin trickle of water from a tap what happes. Now draw the comb away from the trcikle and observe what happens. : Mark your observation with a tick. : When the charged comb is brought close to the flowing water, water gets attracted/repelled/remains as it was. : when the charged comb is taken away from the flowing water, it gets attracted.repelled/remains as it was initially.

Geeta has dry hair. A comb ran through her dry hair attracts small bits of paper. She observes that Neeta with oily hair combs her hair, the combs could not attract small bits of paper. She consults her teacher for this and gets the answer. She then goes to the junior classes and shows this phenomenon as physics experiment to them. All the juniors feel very happy and tell her that they will also look for such interesting things in nature and try to find the answer. She succeeds in forming a science club in her school. Read the above passage and answer the following questions. (i) What according to you are the values displayed by Geeta? (ii) Explain the phenomenon involved.
