Please choose only one correct answer per question toward the plate + plate away from the plate FIG. 1: 1.

Answer 1

Option (a) is correct

Because as water molecule comes under electric field it get polarized and its negative end will be closer to plate but there will not be an deflection because net force on dipole will be zero
