What else can I help you with?
Metaphor simile ect for shocked?
As shocked as a bird landing on live wire. :)
Can you get shocked by a neutral wire?
No, you cannot get shocked by a neutral wire under normal circumstances because it carries the return current and is at a similar voltage level as the ground.
What will happen to someone who is holding a live wire in the air and not touching the ground?
Nothing will happen , as the current always flows from higher potential to lower potential and if the person is touching only live wire then, there is no other path for the current to flow , but if the person touches the ground , the ground is at "0" potential, so, the current tries to flow from live wire to the ground via person , so the person gets shock in that case but not when a person is only touching the live wire and not the ground.
Will the bird on the high voltage wire be shocked?
If the bird is not touching the ground or another conductor while sitting on the high voltage wire, it will not be shocked. This is due to the principle of equipotentiality, where the bird and the wire are at the same electrical potential.
Why can birds sit on a wire without getting an electric shocked?
You only get an electric shock if you are touching both the ground and the electric wire, (or close enough to both for the electricity to arc) Birds sat on electricity cables are not close enough to the ground for the electricity to arc, therefore they do not get shocked.
If you cut a wire with scissors will you get shocked?
You might, if there's current in it. The current might flow from the wire, through the scissors and your body into the ground (which can be some grounded object you're touching). If you're cutting something like a cord, with two wires in it, you'll short-circuit the current and will get spectacular fireworks if the current is high enough. Thus, it's never a good idea to cut a live wire with scissors.
Why you get shock when touching uncovered wire?
You can be shocked because that the wire is passing electricity and that its moving around. Your body has electricity in them and when touched the electricity are moved and you get shocked
When wiring a kitchen stove must the ground wire be grounded?
Absolutely. You need the range ground to be fully connected back to the panel ground buss bar.
If the isulation on the live wire wears through the can become live but it wont stay live why?
The "can" or metal case of an appliance is supposed to be grounded so if the "live" wire touches it then the breaker or fuse will trip open and remove the power to the wire to prevent the person touching the appliance from being shocked.
What is the blue wire Is it live?
it depends on where the blue wire is in a circuit, but if your question is can you get shocked from it? well if it is a house wiring circuit the answer is probably yes, you can use a volt meter to check, but red, black, blue, brown, sometimes white, can be a wire that can shock you, really any color wire except green or bare copper can shock you.
Is the blue wire the live wire?
When ever there is a potential difference between it and ground.
What is the color of live wire neutral wire and ground wire in Bangladesh.?
In Bangladesh, the live wire is typically red, brown, or black; the neutral wire is typically blue or black; and the ground wire is typically green or green with a yellow stripe. It is important to consult with a local electrician or electric code regulations for accurate information.
