We believe that when humans touch a live wire, they experience an electric shock but compared to a crow or a bird, when they sit on a live wire, they do not experience an electric shock. Both humans and crows are good conductors of electricity. Why? Give reason.
A valid reason will be marked as The Brainliest.

Answer:
Because the crow sitting on one wire only his body is not creating a path to another wire of a different potential.
Explanation:
Electric current must flow in a circuit.To receive shock your body (or the crow body) must complete a circuit between a point of one electric potential and another of a different electrical potential.
The reason we get shocked from touching one wire is because we are standing on one conductor most times (the ground).
Any one like linesman can touch one live wire at a time and be safe just as long as their body does not form a path for current to flow through it to another wire of a different electric potential.
Answer:
Electric shock is experienced when the circuit is closed. when a crow sitting on a single wire will not experience electric shock as long as it is not touching any other wire or object which is connected to ground in order to close the circuit.even human being holding a live wire and suspended in the air will not experience electric shock.........
(note-pls. do not try this at home electric shock can cause serious injury/death)
