RE: Why Do Birds And Squirrels Not Get Electrocuted Sitting On Live Power wires?

in #steemstem7 years ago

They simply do not get electrocuted because they do not connect to electrical 'ground' which is needed to complete an electrical circuit.
also
even though they do not get electrocuted they are getting some radiation.
the higher the voltage/amp of the wire
the more electro radiation
so some at least small harm is done in the long run.

Yes, that's one of the reasons. Thanks for your contribution
