Question

You must have seen birds sitting on an overhead electric cable comfortably. Once a while, a monkey (or any
other small animal) swings between the two parallel wires, gets electrocuted and dies. Give explanation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The copper in electrical wires is a great conductor. Birds are not good conductors. That's one reason they don't get shocked when they sit on electrical wires. The energy bypasses the birds and keeps flowing along the wire instead.
