Question

A bird sitting on an unisulated wire carrying a current feels quite safe because

• A. The bird is non conductor of electricity
• B. Resistance of the bird is very large
• C. There is a large potential difference between bird and wire
• D. There is no potential difference between bird and wire

Answer 1

The correct option is A The bird is non conductor of electricity

A bird sitting on an uninsulated wire carrying a current feels quite safe because they are not good conductors of electricity and because there's no voltage difference in a single wire. Their cells and tissues do not offer electrons an easier route than the copper wire. As a result, the electricity keeps flowing along the wire instead of affecting the bird. So, the correct option is 'The bird is non-conductor of electricity'.
