Subject: polarity and charge

Hi everyone,

Many high school and college chemistry textbooks show a picture of how a
stream of a polar liquid falling will be deflected by a charge wand.
Typically, they show liquid falling from a buret and being attracted to a
plastic rod, which has a negative charge on it.

I've been trying to figure out exactly why this happens, without luck. Help?
