• HOW ELECTRICITY WORKS ? • FORENSIC CONSULTANTS
• MOST OF THE CASES OFTEN WHO ARE NOT FROM
INVOLVE ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND. BUT INVOLVE IN CASES
• TO PREDICT THE ROLE OF WHICH HAVE ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICITY IN A FIRE / BACKGROUNDS.
FAILURE INVESTIGATION. • CLIENTS
• TO AVOID FALSE CLAIM.

1.PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES
• Any Substance
which has mass
and occupies
MATTER space is called
Matter.
• All forms in
MOLECULES Matter Matter are made
up of Molecules.
of • Molecules are
made up of
Concern atoms.
ATOMS • Atoms are made
up of Protons,
Neutrons and
Electrons.
Structure of Various Atoms

Atomic structure of Copper Atomic Structure of CARBON

2.WHAT IS ELECTRICITY ?

ELECTRON FLOW NATURE OF FLOW

TYPES OF FLOW

ALTERNATED FLOW (AC) DIRECT FLOW (DC)

3. Relationship between
Current, Voltage & Resistance

“OHM”s law states :

• current through a conductor
– Directly proportional to the
voltage across the two
points.
• How to get it right ?
- Adapt Hydraulic models.
4.TERMS : SOURCE & LOAD
• Typical Load flow of Power System
a. SOURCE : Any
component which
generates power is
known as Source
b. LOAD : Any
element which
consumes power is
called Load
TYPES OF LOADS

a. Resistive Load : Any component b. Capacitive Load : Any component

which hinders the flow of electrons which stores Electric charge for a
is called Resistance. given Electrical Potential.
c. Inductive Load : Any change in
the electric current induces emf
(Voltage ) across that conductor
itself.
5. Basic Electrical LAWS
• Kirchhoff's Current law • Kirchhoff's Voltage law
– The algebraic sum of
currents in a network of
conductors meeting at a
point is zero.
– i.e., In any node or
junction the Incoming
current equals outgoing
current.
– The sum of the electrical
potential differences
(voltage) around any
closed network is zero.
– i.e., the sum of the emfs
in any closed loop is
equivalent to the sum of
the potential drops in
that loop

• Two factors of our focus.. • Motor :
– FLUX (Stationary/ Changing) – Electric Power  Mech. Force
– CONDUCTOR • Generator :
• Two Conditions – Mech. Force  Electric Power
– No.1 : Rate of change of flux
w.r.t the Conductor.
– No.2 : Motion of Conductor
w.r.t the flux.
