Why does the salt bounce off the conducter but stick to the insulator?
The salt bounces off the conducter because the conducter is positivley charged like the salt is. the insulator however is not, it is negativley charged instead.
to prove this the process we took to was to first rub the fur to the pipe making the pipe negativley charged. then take it near the salt and observe the following results. which are showed in the picture above.
