A thin stream of water flows vertically downward. The stream bends toward a positively charged object when it is placed near it. The positively charged object is then removed. What will happen to the same stream of water when a negatively charged object is placed nearit

the water jet and the negative object attract

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation. Water is a good conductor of electricity, so when an object with a positive charge is brought closer, a charge of the opposite sign is created, which is why the two objects attract each other. The charge created comes from the ground

When claiming the object, the charge is reduced to zero or the charge goes to earth since water is a good conductor of electricity, therefore when approaching an object with a negative charge, more charges go to earth and the ring is left with a positive charge and attracts it to the object.

In short, the water jet and the negative object attract
