Although the comet chosen isn't charged electrically too much due to its rather "small" trajectory only stretching 'till Jupiter there is some evidence that electric forces are in the picture much more than the scientist may like to confess...
According to the Hypothesis of an "Electric Universe" a comet is an object negatively charged - moving through the electric field of the positively charged Sun (Heliopause). A comet becomes negatively charged during its long sojourn in the outer solar system. As it speeds into the inner solar system, the increasing voltage and charge density of the plasma (solar “wind”) cause the nucleus to discharge electrically, producing the bright coma and tail.

"TEMPLE 1" NOT A "DIRTY SNOWBALL", HUH ???

...it was NO "coincidence" that the "impactor"-missile was made of Copper. "Sombody" might have expected an electric discharge between the "projectile" and TEMPEL-1 BEFORE the actual impact took place.
If you look at those pictures below that show the distribution before and after the impact you will recognize that the BIGGER PARTICLES (red) move away in a different direction in comparison with the SMALL PARTICLES(indigo) generated by the artificial impact. The direction of the paths of the BIGGER PARTS varies from the direction of the SMALLER PARTS by appr. 90°.
As SMALL PARTICLES are influenced by ELECTRICAL FIELDS to a higher extent than the BIGGER ONES (who act "mechanically") we can conclude that there are ELECTRIC FORCES in play.
Moreover the theory of "exploding Snowballs" aren't conclusive as ICA&SNOW (funny that the surface is BLACK which indicates again ELECTRIC phenomenons) would reflect too much of the energy of the sun - necessary for "heating" up the inner core and leading to an "explosion" due to sole thermodynamical effects. So the experienced jets are more an ELECTRIC phenomenon than anything "mechanical"...
