Why should be careful while using electricity?
If you are careful you can look forwar to a long life without getting electrocuted.
What are 2 examples of insulation?
Insulators of electricity: A person wearing rubbeInsulators of electricity: A person wearing rubber boots stepping on an exposed wire without getting electrocuted. Insulators of heat: A styrofoam cup containing hot water. It does not heat up or burn your hand a lot. In fact, it is so minimal that you hardly notice it.
Why does a switch need to be made out of insulators and conductors?
The conductors carry the electricity around the circuit... the insulators make it safe for people to operate the switch without being electrocuted.
Why don't birds get shocked on high voltage wires?
Birds can sit on powerlines without being shocked because, in order to be shocked, your body needs to be touching both the powerline and the ground at the same time, so that there is a path for current to flow.If birds sit on a powerline, they aren't touching the ground. This means that they will not be shocked.Another explanationTo be electrocuted you not only need a point at which the electricity enters your body but also a point at which the electricity exits your body. Because the birds are only touching one wire there is no place for the electricity to exit, and this prevents them from getting electrocuted.
How does bird land in wires without getting electrocuted?
The outside of cables is coated in a protective sleeve - that insulates the wire from the weather. So long as the bird doesn't touch the conductor - it's fine.
How is it possible for a bird to sit on an electric line without getting electrocuted?
Unless the bird contacts two wires at the same time, the electric current will not pass through the bird.
How can you carry electricity in your hands without getting hurt?

Story on a night without electricity?

Does insulated copper wire conduct electricity?
Yes, without the insulation on the wire you would have a hard time getting the voltage to the load without a short circuit developing.
How do you make things work without electricity?
They run on battries. That is how they work without electricity.
How do you live without electricity in a room?
if we will sleep we will not knowing that there is electricity or not
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.
