Question

Why don't birds get electrocuted when they land on an electric wire?e dream? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge\sf\underline\blue{Answer}$

Birds don't get electrocuted on power lines because electricity does not move through their bodies when they sit on them. When the bird sits with both its feet on the electrical wire, their legs have an equal electrical potential so the electricity will not move throughout the bird's body.

Answer 2

Answer:

When a bird is perched on a single wire, its two feet are at the same electrical potential, so the electrons in the wires have no motivation to travel through the bird's body. No moving electrons means no electric current.
