Question

A bird sitting on a bare power cable does not feel any shock because of

• A. Zero potential difference between its legs
• B. High potential difference between its legs
• C. Special property of its legs
• D. Low potential difference between its legs

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Zero potential difference between its legs

Bird will not get a shock unless you complete the circuit to ground. Current passes only when there is difference in potential. So, a bird sitting on a bare power cable does not feel any shock because of absence of potential difference.
