Why Don't birds get shocked while sitting on a Electric Line.
Why don't birds get shocked while sitting on a electric transmission line? Everyone must have thought of this question ones in a while,so have you ever thought why is this soo.. So the reason behind this is the Incomplete circuit for current to flow i.e., From Phase to Neutral. Every circuit needs (positive and negative for DC) and (Phase and Neutral for Ac) to flow a current in any wire. When the bird sits on a electric line then it sits on a Phase or a Neutral wire due to which the circuit remain incomplete which results in no current flow in birds body and it save the birds.. SPECIAL CONDITIONS.... If any big bird come to sit and some how bird's wing or body touches the other wire and circuit get complete from Phase to Neutal then it might cause a flow of current in bird's body and result in death of the bird.. Their is One more reason to this that the birds legs have very high resistance which does not allow current to enter in birds body as it act as a Insulator. As ...
