electron. it turns out this and this, these charges are opposite and which belies a fundamental rule of electricity. opposite charges... attract. --attract. and like charges... repel. repel. repel. that's right. and so the negative charge is being attracted to the positive charge and whirls around, around, around in a very loose sense, in almost an incorrect sense. but we can think of it like a sun here and a planet going around and around and around. the force that holds the planet to the sun is the force that we don't understand it very well. we have a name for it begins with g. what is it? gravity. gravity. and the force that holds the electron to the proton is the force we call... electricity. begins with the e. -- ends with a l. electrical. electrical. it's the electrical force. so there's an electrical force between these two. now, we normally say that that atom has no net charge. do you hear me when i say no net charge? there is much positive as negative. in fact, if i had another charge

- electron. - electron. now we have to make the symbol for electron. for electron, get it? mm-hmm. what's the atomic mber of an electron? - negative o. - atomic number? negativene. what is atomic number, anyway? charge, right? what's the charge of an electron? - negative one. - negave one. what's the mass of an electron? zero. well, it's closer to zero than it is to one if one is the mass of a proton neutron. and this has got, like, about 2,0th the mass. that's closer to zero than to one. so we round off atomic mass number, anyway. this is zero. now, what does the thorium become? well, what do we got over here for an atomic number? 91 do you see it's 91? yeah. 91. and what's the mass gonna be? - 89. - now, what has 91? protactinium. - is it gonna be 91, gang? - yeah. let's check. - 91 minus 1 equals 90. - correct. it's 91. that's interesting. some people think that radioactive decay, you start with uranium and work down, down, down, down the periodic table approaching hydrogen. not true. when beta particles are emitted, you climb up the table, gang. you see that? what happens in th

200 million electron volts. so you see, when you try to fission things, i mean, when you try to fuse things on this side, if you fuse these things, you're gonna climb a hill. you're gonna gain mass. what you wanna do is lose mass after reaction. lose mass. if you understand that, you can answer this question. let's suppose you have some iron and with this iron-- it's in the future, we get fusion power plants, we get fission power plants. and in the future we have-- and you get some iron. you wanna bring the iron to the power plants so you can get some energy out of it. should you bring the iron to the fission power plant or the fusion power plant? check your neighbor. see if your neighbor be know it. okay, gang. what be the answer? neither. what happen if you fission it? iron's 26. let's suppose your fission did exactly in half. then the two pieces would have what atomic number? 13. do you have to know what half of 26 is? 13. what is it? 13. is it 13? okay. it'd be two 13s, yeah? the two 13s-- [makes sounds] you

now, if electrons moving this way are forced up, what would happen if i just take the electrons and force them down or just move them down? they're gonna be forced perpendicular. but this time, guess what's along the perpendicular direction? begin with w. wire, there's a path. so when the electrons are coming down there again deflected, it could go like this, it could go like that, the same thing. they're deflected. this time they shot up before there's nothing to do, but pull the whole wire up too. but if i came in this way, foom, they shoot up, but they go along the wire. so what i've done is i've produced a current. so this over here produces an electric pressure on there, which we call a voltage. and so a voltage produced in a wire crossing through a magnetic field is not fundamentally different than having electrons go through a wire this way and being popped up the side. mm, it's the same thing. check that part in the book. it's the distinction between the motor effect and the generator effect. they're really one and the same physics. check that out. now over here, we have a generat

no one says electronic voting fraud has happened. two manufacturers we tried to contact but didn't get a response say on their websites: "we employ extensive internal security monitoring to ensure data integrity and maintain public confidence." and another: "we offer the best and most reliable voting solutions to elections administrators and voters around the world." a number of officials at county boards of elections say they're confident their machines are tamper-free because they're not connected to the internet nor left alone long enough for sabatoge. but officials in hamilton county, surrounding cincinnati, ohio, say they were not satisfied with electronic systems and chose a paper-based system that scans ballots. voters in battleground states can expect loads of lawyers that will be watching at the polls tomorrow. the republican and democratic parties are mobilizing thousands of attorneys for the election, according to the new york times. they will be watching for intimatidation, sabatoge or incorrect information given to voter

americans recycle only 25% of their old electronics but it's easier than you might think and it could pay off. chains like apple or best buy calculate what the item is worth so you can trade it in for a credit. if it has no value, they'll send it for recycling. yesterday's favorites arrive by the truckload at the plant. workers erase and destroy old hard drives and refurbish products for resale. older models are stripped for parts like the precious minerals in memory cards. leftover pieces are resold as commodities. sims processes ewaste each year. >> we're here to help society get rid of the materials. >> reporter: it's a profitable business, but profitable for the rest of the company, too. it keeps toxic lead out of landfill. >> that's a great piece. i have got so much e-junk up in my spare bedroom that is just sitting in there. i've got to take it somewhere. >> they have an electronics section and you can dump it there. >> all right. 55 was the high today technically. it was after midnight. we were nowhere near 65 the rest of the day. thee cleared out nicely this afternoon. we're g
