Electric lighting. The supply of electricity for light-ing is facilitated and regulated by the (English) Electric Lighting Act, 1882 (45 & 46 Vict. c. 56). Under this Act powers may be obtained either (1) by license from the Board of Trade; or (2) by Provisional Order of the Board of Trade, needing confirmation by special Act of Parliament; or (3) by special Act of Parliament. The (English) Electric Lighting Clauses Act, 1899 (62 & 63 Vict. c. 19), has incorporated in one Act the usual clauses of provisional orders and special Acts, and directed that such clauses are to apply to every undertaking under the Electric Lighting Acts except so far as expressly varied. These licenses and orders may either be granted to the local authorities themselves or, with their consent, to independent contractors. Licenses continue in force for any period not exceeding seven years, but are renewable. By s. 27 of the (English) 1882 Act an undertaking autho-rized by provisional order or special Act may be...

Electricals
Electricals, the expression 'electricals' is somewhat vague. But in a factory manufacturing cotton and other textiles, certain electrical equipment in the present stage of development would be commer-cially necessary. Without electric lighting it would be very difficult to carry on the business. Again electrical humidifiers, exhaust fans and similar electrical equipment would in the modern conditions of technological development normally be regarded as equipment necessary to effectually carry on the manufacturing process, J.K.

electric current
the movement of electrically charged particles atoms or ions through solids liquids gases or free space the term is usually used of relatively smooth movements of electric charge through conductors whether constant or variable Sudden movements of charge are usually referred to by other terms such as spark or lightning or discharge In metallic conductors the electric current is usually due to movement of electrons through the metal The current is measured as the rate of movement of charge per unit time and is counted in units of amperes As a formal definition the direction of movement of electric current is considered as the same as the direction of movement of positive charge or in a direction opposite to the movement of negative charge Electric current may move constantly in a single direction called direct current abbreviated DC or may move alternately in one direction and then the opposite direction called alternating current abbreviated AC...
Electric lighting fittings
Electric lighting fittings, the expression 'electric lighting fittings' is normally understood in context with the household. The dippers and switches manufactured for use in cars are not understood either in the trade circle or in common parlance as electric lighting fittings. The words 'switches, plugs and sockets' have been widened by use of the expression 'all kinds', but the words used have to take colour from the genesis of the entry, that is, electric lighting fittings. Since the main or the principal entry deals with electric lighting fittings in the households, the switches and dippers manufactured by the respondent for exclusive use in motor vehicles cannot be said to be covered in the aforesaid entry, Union of India v. J.M.A. Industries, (1995) 3 SCC 389. [Central Excise and Salt Act, 1944, Items 61 (as introduced in 1981), 34A (as amended in 1979) and 68]...

Electricity
a property of certain of the fundamental particles of which matter is composed called also electric charge and being of two types designated positive and negative the property of electric charge on a particle or physical body creates a force field which affects other particles or bodies possessing electric charge positive charges create a repulsive force between them and negative charges also create a repulsive force A positively charged body and a negatively charged body will create an attractive force between them The unit of electrical charge is the coulomb and the intensity of the force field at any point is measured in volts...
