Question

A bird sitting on a single high tension wire does not get electrocuted because:

• A. The circuit is not complete
• B. The bird feet has an insulating covering
• C. Capacitance of the bird is too small and the line frequency is too small
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A The circuit is not complete

Because electric cable lines have more space between them, the bird cannot touch another cable line at the same time. Hence circuit is not completed in this case and the bird does not get electrocuted.

Therefore option $A$ is correct.
