प्रश्न
Conceptual question.
A bird sitting on a high power electric line is still safe. How?
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.
