MCQ
A bird sitting on a single high tension wire does not get electrocuted because
- Athe circuit is not complete
- Bresistance of the bird is too high
- Ccapacitance of the bird is too small and the line frequency is too small
- ✓Both $a$ and $b$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $a$ and $b$
d
(d)
(d)
When bird sits over a high tension wire, its both feet are nearly at same potential. So, no current flows through bird's body.
