contents We experimentally study the breakup of water-glycerol liquid bridges on non-conductive surfaces and find that spontaneous charge deposition at the receding contact line, slide electrification, can have a substantial influence. Electrostatic forces slow down the dynamics during, and cause spontaneous motion of satellite drops after the bridge breakup. We show that our experimental observations align with slide electrification theory. Our findings demonstrate that slide electrification plays an important role in dewetting beyond drop-related scenarios.
