Best Answer

it goes no where, electricity will only flow between the electrical poles. As long as the bird touches nothing connect to the ground or another conductor.

Why do birds sit together on telephone lines?

For a start, most telephone wires are insulated and carry little or no electricity so, apart from falling off and hurting themselves, they won't get hurt on telephone wires. Really, you should have asked about why birds don't get hurt on overhead electrical wires. The answer is fairly simple really - to get electrocuted from those wires you need to complete the circuit, in this case touch the ground, for the electricity to surge through the body. Birds only sit on the wire and do not touch the ground, so they can't be electrocuted.


How can solar panels send electricity to different parts of the house?

Solar panels generate electricity, direct current. This is normal electricity. It can travel along wires into batteries in your house, or it can go through an inverter and become alternating current which can be sold back to electricity companies. Whichever kind, it still travels along wires, just the same as bought electricity.
