The paper presents experimental results of the dynamics of mass transfer through a water bridge arising between two dielectric cups with distilled water under the action of a constant high voltage between cylindrical electrodes. It is established that, depending on the ratio of the electrode diameters, the total fluid flow in the water bridge can be directed both to the cathode and to the anode. It is shown that the inversion of the direction of mass transfer of liquid through the bridge is due to the redistribution of volume charges. Keywords: water bridge, EHD flow, anode, cathode.
