A bird sitting on a high tension electric wire does not get electrocuted because:
Ait does not form a closed path for the flow of current
BSit has high resistance
Cits feet are good insulators
Dthe body is earthed
Correct answer
A. it does not form a closed path for the flow of current
Explanation
Birds don’t get shocked when they sit on electrical wires because they are not good conductors of electricity. If the bird would touch the ground while sitting on the wire or flap its wings and touch another electric wirewith a different voltage, then it would get shocked and likely die by electrocution.
