This one is fun for science lovers..I tried out this under strict supervision of my teachers..Here a mercury drop seems to be dancing when a iron nail comes in contact with it.Its all because of electrochemical reactions..AMAZING !!!

question
Interesting.....Is the nail magnatized in any way or is their a current running from it to the mercury? That would be my guess as to how this is done, sort of like a homopolar motor. If not then how does the electro magnetic effect come from?
