Why is it possible for a bird to sit on a high voltage wire?
Birds can sit on high voltage wires because they do not provide a path for electricity to flow through the bird's body. The electricity follows the path of least resistance, which is the wire itself, and does not pass through the bird unless it touches another object that is grounded.
A bird sitting on the wire flies away if a high voltage is passed through the wire?
This is due to the high voltage creating a potential difference between the wire and the bird, resulting in an electric shock if the bird provides a path for current flow. This can cause harm or be fatal to the bird, prompting it to fly away to avoid the dangerous situation.
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.
Will you get shocked if you touch just the hot wire?
Yes, you can get shocked if you touch just the hot wire because it carries electrical current.
Does the neutral wire carry voltage in an electrical circuit?
Yes, the neutral wire in an electrical circuit does carry voltage, but it is typically close to 0 volts compared to the hot wire which carries the higher voltage.
I have a question about high voltage for my school project. the is What would happen to me if i would be shocked by high voltage. Would I be knocked off or would i would stay on the wire still being shock.?
If you got shocked by any type of electrical current it would certainly knock you off the wire .
Metaphor simile ect for shocked?
As shocked as a bird landing on live wire. :)
Why doesnt a bird standing on a high voltage wire get electrocuted?
The wires are coated in rubber.

Why can some birds land on high voltage lines without getting shocked and and some can't?
To get electric shock, the circuit must be completed and the subject who is in the path, or who becomes the path gets shock. When a bird sits on the wire, there is no closed path or circuit hence it does not shock. Same bird while sitting on the wire, and part of its body touches the earth or ground it then will get shock.
Why does rats or mouse do not experience electric shock on high tension wire?
An animal such as a bird or rodent sitting on a "high tension wire" (electrical line) will not be shocked because it is not connected to a lower voltage, or ground. In order for electricity to flow there must be a difference in potential. (The scenes in movies where people fry when they are suspended in the air on high voltage grids are not in accordance with the laws of science-just as Superman could not really stop a speeding bullet or falling meteor.) If you-- a person-- touch the same wire while standing on the ground your body WILL provde a means of current flow as you are conectged to "ground"--which, by definition is low or no voltage. but if you are ONLY on the wire, and not the ground, same result. No current flow.
Why bird does not die sitting on a wire and man does even if he is not connected in any way to the earth?
As long as there is no path to earth both the bird and the man won't get shocked.
What happens if someone touches a high voltage wire?
If they are grounded they get an electric shock or electrocuted. If they are not grounded or in simultaneous contact with the neutral wire, nothing. That's why birds can sit on a high voltage wire and survive; they are not grounded.
How do you wire a high watt light to a battery?
Need more information. Wattage of bulb, voltage of bulb, voltage of battery and wire size of the circuit.
Can high voltage wire be used for low voltage fixture?
yes, all conductors shall be insulated to the highest voltage utilised
