Emergency Preparedness A Message from Purdue To report an emergency, call 911. To obtain updates regarding an ongoing emergency, sign up for Purdue Alert text messages, view www.purdue.edu/ea. There are nearly 300 Emergency Telephones outdoors across campus and in parking garages that connect directly to the PUPD. If you feel threatened or need help, push the button and you will be connected immediately. If we hear a fire alarm during class we will immediately suspend class, evacuate the building, and proceed outdoors. Do not use the elevator. If we are notified during class of a Shelter in Place requirement for a tornado warning, we will suspend class and shelter in the basement. If we are notified during class of a Shelter in Place requirement for a hazardous materials release, or a civil disturbance, including a shooting or other use of weapons, we will suspend class and shelter in the classroom, shutting the door and turning off the lights. Please review the Emergency Preparedness website for additional information. http://www.purdue.edu/ehps/emergency_preparedness/index.html Forces Strong: short range ~ 10-15 m Binds the protons and neutrons to form the nuclei Electromagnetic Binds electrons to protons to form nuclei, atoms to form molecules etc. Weak: short range ~ 10-14 m Neutron decay and natural radioactivity Gravitation Dominant on large scales Electromagnetism Electric force Rubbed amber attracts straw Magnetic force Magnetite attracts iron 180 Hans Christian Oersted (1777 1851) Current of electrons produces magnetic attraction 1830 Michael Faraday (1791 1867) Time-dependent connection between electric and magnetic phenomena 4

Insulator: material in which electric charges are frozen in place. Semi-conductor: material in which electric charges can move around but not as freely as in conductors. Super-conductor: no resistance to the movement of charge. 7
Interaction of Charges: Insulators Insulator: material in which electric charges are frozen in place Interaction of Charges: Insulators Force of Repulsion Force of Attraction Charges with the same electrical sign repel each other Charges with opposite electrical signs attract each other. Demo Interaction of Charges Charged objects interact by exerting forces on one another Pith Balls 8
Mobility of Charge Conductor: material in which electric charges can move around freely Negatively charged plastic rod will attract either end of the electrically isolated copper rod Reason: charges in copper rod can redistribute themselves. Demo Mobility of Charge Pie Tins The Useful Concept of Ground The Earth is a (relatively poor) conductor Dissolved mineral salts are good conductors The Earth is very large Macroscopic charges can flow into or out of the earth without changing its net charge by any significant degree This property can be quite useful 9
Charging by Induction Maximizes distance between same charges 1. Bring a charged rod close to conductor. 3. Break connection to ground, keeping the charged rod in place. Ground the conductor. 4. Remove the rod. The sphere is charged.
