Why do birds sitting on a power line not get electrocuted?

Birds do not get electrocuted when sitting on power lines because they are not completing a circuit for electricity to flow through. The electricity in power lines travels in a closed loop, and birds are not grounded so there is no path for the electricity to flow through them. Additionally, most power lines are insulated to prevent electricity from leaking out.


Can a person be electrocuted in distilled water?

It is extremely unlikely that a person can be electrocuted in distilled water, as it does not conduct electricity very well. However, if there are impurities or substances dissolved in the water that increase its conductivity, there is a small risk of electrocution. It is always safest to avoid mixing electricity and water.


Where does the water go in the dryer?

The water is converted to water vapor and is carried out through the dryer vent by the air that flows through the machine.
