Give a reason why a candle flame is blown when a highly charged conductor is brought close to it?

When a highly charged conductor is brought close to a candle flame, the electric field created by the charged conductor can disrupt the balance of ions and electrons in the flame. This can cause the flame to be extinguished as the disruption in the balance of ions and electrons affects the combustion process.

When a highly charged conductor is brought close to a candle flame, the electric field from the conductor polarizes the molecules in the flame. This polarization causes the molecules to align with the electric field, and the positive ends of the molecules are attracted to the negative conductor. The negative ends of the molecules are repelled by the conductor, and this repulsion causes the flame to be blown away from the conductor.
