Answer:

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

Explanation:

Birds can sit on power lines and not get electric shocks because the electricity is always looking for a way to get to the ground. The birds are not touching the ground or anything in contact with the ground, so the electricity will stay in the power line

The electrical wires are covered with a plastic coating which prevents the electrocution of the birds.

Explanation:

  1. When the birds sit on electric wires, they are not generally electrocuted because the wires are covered with a thick coating made of plastic.
  2. This plastic coating protects the birds from getting electrocuted and also ensures the safety of electrical distribution in the areas.
  3. The wires remain separated from each other so there are fewer chances of short circuits.
  4. Moreover, they are not good conductors of electricity so they are always secure from electrocution.
