This is a very cool video shot on the space station showing tiny droplets of water orbiting in an electric field. It's a close analog of orbits in a gravitational field but on a tiny scale. It works because the electromagnetic force is enormously stronger than gravity.

Yeah, the physicist who's doing the demonstration is describing what's happening and giving details on the different sewing needle materials he's trying.
