The document describes how an electric field affects a ping pong ball coated in metallic paint and a candle flame. For the ping pong ball, touching one plate charges it positively or negatively, attracting it to the opposite plate and causing it to oscillate between them. For the candle flame, the heat ionizes air molecules and the electric field pulls the heavier positive ions toward the negative plate, distorting the shape of the flame.

EFFECT OF ELECTRIC FIELD ON CHARGE
Diagram
Explanation
A ping pong ball coated with a metallic paint. The
ball still remain stationary.
When the ping pong ball is displaced to the right
to touch the positive plate, it receives positive charge. The ping pong ball is attracted to the negative plate.
When the ping pong ball touches the negative
plate, its charge is neutralised and immediately receives negative cahrge. The ping pong ball is attracted by the positive plate. The process are repeated caused the ping pong ball oscillates.
EFFECT OF ELECTRIC FIELD ON CANDLE FLAME
Diagram
Explanation
The heat of the candle flame removes electrons
from the air molecules around it, and therefore ionised the molecule.
If the candle is placed in between 2 plates
connected to a Extra High Tension (E.H.T.) power supply, the positive ions will be attracted to the negative plate while the negative ions will be attracted to the positive plate. The positive ions which are heavier is pulled towards the negative plate with a large force occupy a larger proportion of the flame.
