प्रश्न
Conceptual question.
A bird sitting on a high power electric line is still safe. How?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Birds don’t get shocked when they sit on electrical wires because they are not good conductors of electricity. Electricity flowing through a single power line at 35,000 volts will continue along the path of least resistance and bypass birds, because there is no difference in electrical potential.
