How can birds safely sit on electric wires?
Birds can safely sit on electric wires because they do not provide a path for electricity to flow through their bodies. The electricity flows through the wires and does not pass through the birds unless they touch another object that is grounded.
Does electric force require that objects touch?
No, electric force does not require objects to touch in order to act on each other. Objects with electric charge can exert attractive or repulsive forces on each other even when they are not in physical contact.
Why do birds space themselves evenly when sitting on a wire?
The birds seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to these things. Maybe they've just learned from experience. Think about it, if those two birds touch then they become electricity conducters instead of insulators, and are electricuted.
Is it true that when you touch a bird the other birds will treat them like an outcast?
Normally, its hard to touch a bird in a group but if you do, I don't think it is treated like an outcast. I've seen kids touch them but they other birds are fine. I've grabbed on before and all the others flew away but that's probably because they are scared of you. Touch = alright. Grab = sign of danger.
Do two positive charges repel each other from a distance or repel each other only when they touch?
Two positive charges will repel each other from a distance due to the electric force between them. They do not have to touch in order to feel the repulsive force. This repulsion is a fundamental property of electric charges.
Is it possible to touch an electric fence without receiving a shock?
No, it is not possible to touch an electric fence without receiving a shock.
How can a bird go on a wire and not die?
Birds don't get electrocuted unless they touch something else besides just the wire -- the electricity will then flow through their bodies toward whatever they're touching. Sometimes you do see birds that have been killed by the electric wires.
Why birds do not get electric current when they sit on electric wire?
In order for electricity to shock something it needs to be touching the ground. Electricity goes through the body and back into the ground. Since the crow is in no way touching the ground the electricity has no where to go and thus can not shock the crow. If you touch the wire and are not touching anything that conducts electricity (like metal) and are not touching the ground you will not get shocked either. But if you stand on the ground and touch the wire you will get shocked.

Why does the guy sitting in front of you touch you with his shoe?

What is the difference between an eel and an electric eel?
The eel is not electric and is able to be touched by human where as the electric eel will zap you if you touch it.
When you have recovered the person from the electric shock is it safe to touch them?
As long as the person who received the electric shock is NOT connected to the electric supply that caused the incident and you are not in a situation where you are at rise of injurty by the electric or any other situation then you can contune to provide first response help.
