How do birds not get electrocuted on power lines?
Actually if we were to sit on a power line and not touch anything else like the birds do we would not get electrocuted.The current a flow of electrons,flows along a path of least resistance the electrons want to get to where they are going in the easiest possible way. Electricity flows from one voltage to another value of voltage. For the birds, the power lines have the same voltage -- so the birds are safe. Don't approach power lines, because humans come from the ground, which is a sink for the current.
Can birds get electrocuted if they come in contact with two wires?
Yes, a bird can get electrocuted if it comes in contact with two bare power lines. The power lines are spaced apart so only the largest birds (buzzards, eagles, etc.) would be able to touch two at the same time.
Explain why two lines of latitude never touch?
Lines of latitude are parallel to each other and never intersect because they are equidistant from the equator. As they run east-west around the globe, they maintain a consistent distance from each other, ensuring that they never touch or cross paths. This unique characteristic makes lines of latitude a useful reference point for determining locations on Earth's surface.
How come birds can land on power lines without being electrocuted?
The high voltage is between one wire and the other. From one point on the wire to another point on the same wire, the voltage is quite insignificant. As long as the birds don't touch both wires, nothing much will happen. The wire does not have a difference in voltage from foot to foot. The term "high voltage" refers from wire to ground. Electricity flows down a voltage gradient. There is no gradient of voltage between the feet.
Why do big birds get killed by power lines but little birds don't?
The wingspan on a big bird is large enough to touch two wires at once. Any difference in voltage between the wires will cause current to flow through the bird, perhaps killing it. Small birds can only touch one wire at a time.
How can iget in touch with txu electric about trees in the power lines?
Need the phone number for lopping my trees in the power lined
How are intersecting lines alike to perpendicular lines?
intersecting lines are alike because perpendicular lines have to intersect to be perpendicular. 2: They are the same because they touch another line so they are the same.
Why is there only one kind of parallel lines?
parallel lines are any lines that will never touch. on a 3D plane, there will be many lines that won't intersect another. but parallel lines have a specific definition that there is no way to subcatigorize it
Do tree limbs affect power lines to the house?
Yes if the wires are of the non insulated type there will be a leakage to earth, contact your power company. Get expert help, do not attempt to cut trees that touch power lines it could be fatal.
Do lines have to touch to intersect or can they just be held above one another?
They can touch but they can also be in a form that shows that if the line continues it will intersect. Hope this helps you:)
Do parallel l touch to one another?
Parallel lines stay a fixed distance apart to infinity.
What electric line of force can touch?
the lines of force are not real. these lines of force are imaginary lines. so we can not touch it.
