Another key person in the cover-up was John Dean, the White House counsel. Dean talked to Liddy on Monday about what had happened, and he went to John Ehrlichman, one of the two top aides on Nixonâs staff. On Tuesday, Nixon met with Mitchell and his other top aide, John Haldeman and discussed Watergate.
Electrical burns are caused by an electrical current that makes contact with the body. Electrical burns can happen in a variety of ways, from an appliance that isn't working properly to household electrical wiring.
Due to the wires having electrical resistance, which means that they resist the motion of electrons, the electrons bump into atoms on the outside of the wire, and some of their kinetic energy is given to the atoms as thermal energy. This thermal energy causes the wire to heat up. Electrical burns occur when you hold on to a wire, and due to heat transfer, some of this thermal energy is transferred to you. When the wires get hot enough due to a constant input of heat, there will be more heat to transfer to you if you touch the wire, and all of this excess heat can cause burns and fires.
