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

Answer Posted / sireesha

It is the potential difference which causes the current but not the potential..so if the bird sits on a phase line doesn't get shock since there is only potential.But if the bird touches both the phase line and neutral( generally earth) then it gets shock due to potential difference between phase and neutral.
