IntroductionIntroduction
1) Gravity- a force between masses- holds planets in orbit, etc.
2) Electromagnetism- a force between charges- responsible for all familiar forces (except gravity) – friction, normal, magnetic
3) Weak Nuclear Force- decay of particles
4) Strong Nuclear Force- holds nuclei together

Electric Charge (continued)
•Net charge is a conserved quantity: that is, the algebraic sum of positive and negative charges is constant.
Eg +5e-3e = +2e = +8e-6e
• Charge appears in nature in units of “e”:
eg: Particle Chargeelectron -eproton +e
Insulators: charges do NOT move eg: glass, rubber, paper
- can be charged by rubbing, but charges do not move
Conductors: (some) charges move freely eg: metals, some liquids
Semiconductors: electrical properties between insulators and conductors eg: silicon, germanium

Conductor
Quiz
The conductor is neutral (no net charge). When a charged rod is brought close to it (without touching) the net force on the conductor will be:
A) attractiveB) repulsiveC) zeroD) it depends whether the
rod is positive or negative
