why, when birds sit on transmission lines or current wires
doesn't get shock?

Answer Posted / k.abdul basith

normally current is the flow of electrons,which flows in
closed circuit.practically current flow if there is any
potential difference.if a bird sit on a line, it wont touch
the ground and hence the circuit is not closed.hence crow
wont feel shock.same is true for a human too.if we touch the
phase line when we are in air the circuit is not closed and
hence we wont feel any shock unless we touch the ground
while touching the phase wire....
