Why Birds not feel electric shock on wires ?

Birds on electric wires

Most of us see birds sit on the electrical wires and do not feel electric current the simple anwer of this question is this

Current is always flow from high potential to lower potential. When the positive and negative wire are in contact the current flow through it but in case of birds they are sit only in one wire for example if crow sit in wire they have no contact with the ground or neutral wire that’s why they can not complete the electric circuit to flow the current in it. You also see when they touch with the other wire they are die. The reason behind this is that the crow are now in contact with the negative and positive wire that’s why current will flow through it and they are die.

Why we feel electric current under high voltage ?

This is the simple Question which all of us think when we are alone. Now I will tell you the basic reason of feeling electric current on our body.

Firstly you need to know about current and voltage these are totally different. We will define current as the number of charge (negative or positive) flow with respect to time like Q/t. here Q defines the Charge and t is time.

The voltage is the force which pushes the charge to flow. Like our home motor which force water to pull upward and fill our water tank.

After reading you have the rough idea about the relation of current and voltage. The relation between the current and the voltage is define the law called Ohms law which is define as

V=I/R

V= voltage

I = current

R= voltage

We know that our body is a good conductor of electricity because our body contains a lot of water and we know that water is a good conductor of electricity. So in this case our body becomes the resistance and if high voltage is applied to the electrons they will flow from our body and our body cells are damage. This is the basic reason that our body feels electric current under high voltage which is more than 80v to 100v. Below this you will not feel the electric shock. Current depend upon the voltage to flow.
