When was Bird on the Wire created?
Bird on the Wire was created in 1969-04.
Why birds do not get electric current when they sit on electric wire?
In order for electricity to shock something it needs to be touching the ground. Electricity goes through the body and back into the ground. Since the crow is in no way touching the ground the electricity has no where to go and thus can not shock the crow. If you touch the wire and are not touching anything that conducts electricity (like metal) and are not touching the ground you will not get shocked either. But if you stand on the ground and touch the wire you will get shocked.
Why are the wingspans of birds a consideration in determining the spacing between parallel wires in a power line?
If the wingspan of birds is sufficient to span the wires that differ in electric potential, then the bird acts as a path for current to flow from the high voltage wire to the low voltage wire. Since the electric potential differences are huge in power lines, it is very likely that the bird will be cooked when it completes the circuit and the ground below will become littered with carcasses.
Why do birds not electrocuted when they are staying on live wire or wires?
Power lines are insulated and as long as they don't touch the ground (or another object) they won't be electrocuted.AnswerMost power lines are not, in fact, insulated because they are already surrounded by an insulating media -air.The reason that birds don't get electrocuted is because each foot is at the same potential and, for current to flow (it's the current which causes electrocution) through its body, each foot must be at a different potential. The bird is safe, providing another part of its body doesn't come in contact with one of the other conductors.
How can birds sit on power lines without shocking themselves?
Stormrose says:"Power lines are encased in a rubber tube, much like any other electrical wires, such as the ones in a set of headphones, or a lamp cord. The birds feet are not actually touching the live wires, so they aren't getting shocked. ITS PATHGrowtheTruth says:Absolutely ridiculous AND completely wrong! LOL! Sorry...The reason why birds don't get electrocuted is because electricity has to flow from something to something. Birds only sit on one wire with their feet touching it, which means that there is no connectivity to the electrical flow, thus not completing the electrical path. The electricity would have no way to travel through the bird.There is always the potential for a bird to be electrocuted, though. If one bird were to touch another bird or wire while perched on the line or if a bigger bird (with a larger wing span) were to touch the wire with its wingtips, then the circuit would be completed and would flow through their bodies, which would most likely kill them.Also, it can be said that, should someone grab a power line with both hands at the exact (and I do mean exact) same time, while their feet are not on the ground and nottouching anything else, with no other body part touching the power line (or anything else for that matter) while holding on, and then they were to let go at exactly the same time, without touching the ground first...then that person would survive with no injuries!Apex- Birds sitting on a single power line don't get shocked because there is no path for current to flow to 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.
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.
Why energy is stored in stretched wire?
Elastic potential energy (EPE) is stored in a stretched wire because when it is stretched it has the potential to bounce back with kinetic energy and because energy cannot be created or destroyed (conservation of energy) this energy must start from somewhere and that is EPE.
A bird sitting on the floor of a wire cage and the cage is in the hand of a boy .The bird starts flying in the cage .Will the boy experience any change in the weight of cage?
No
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 is the relationship between electric potential and a wire in an electrical circuit?
The electric potential in a wire in an electrical circuit is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge. As the wire carries current, the electric potential decreases along the wire due to the resistance of the wire. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states that the electric potential difference across a wire is directly proportional to the current flowing through it and inversely proportional to the resistance of the wire.
How does the bird stop itself from electrocution?
It doesn't need to. In order for electricity to flow, there has to be two connections, one to the positive and one to the negative. When a bird is sitting on a wire, it is not grounded, so it does not get electrocuted.
According to ohms law Why a bird does not feel electric shock while sitting on the wire of electric pole?
There is hardly any voltage between the bird's two feet - or between the feet and other parts of the bird's body.
When was Bird on the Wire created?
Bird on the Wire was created in 1969-04.
Why don't birds get electrocuted sitting on a wire?
Very interesting...A current will flow (or somebody will get electrocuted!) if there is a sufficiently high potential difference across him.When birds sit on a wire (of high potential), the whole body becomes at a high potential, and there is no potential difference across it. Hence, no current passes through it and the bird is not electrocuted.However, if a person, while standing on the ground, touches the same wire, he will be electrocuted.add You've discovered one of the reasons why overhead electric wires are separated from each other. We do have blackouts caused by a bird or an opossum (Aus) bridging between the wires. In NZ in suburbia, almost all power poles have a wide metal band on them to stop the possums from climbing them.
Can you tell me where i can get the bird on a wire song track from the film bird on a wire?
A soundtrack was not released.
