What happens when a charged ebonite rod is brought close to water?

Ebonite rod becomes positively charged and the fur becomes negatively charged.
Hold on electrons: Fur > Ebonite rod
So, the ebonite rod loses its electrons to the fur and the fur becomes negatively charged.

Because electrons are transferred from the cloth to the rod.
But why is it that it is from the cloth that charges travel to the rod but not the other way around? (Why didn't the rod get POSITIVELY charged?)

What attract when a charged object is brought close to an uncharged object use?
If positively charged body is brought near then opposite charges i.e. negative charges are induced and hence attraction occurs
What happens when charged polythene rod come close together?
they repel one another
Why does a charged rod when brought up close to someones hair cause someones hair to rise?
Static electricity!
What happens when opposite poles or charges are brought close together?
Magnetics forces
How can materials become electrically charged?
Material can become electrically charged when two different material are brought into close contact, some of the electrons move from one material to another.
And if two pieces of rubbed ebonite are brought close together will they repel or attract each other?
repel
What happens if the negatively charged rod is brought close to another negatively charged rod?
they repel remember, opposites attract and likes repel.

What is the behaviour of charged objects when they are brought close to each other?
Similarly charged particles repel each other, and particles bearing opposite charges attract each other.
What happens when static charges are brought close together?
if they are opposite charges, they attract. if they are like, they repel.
