Why don't birds get electrocuted when they land on an electric wire?

Biology
2 answers:

Answer:

Birds can sit on power lines and not get electric shocks because the electricity is always looking for a way to get to the ground. The birds are not touching the ground or anything in contact with the ground, so the electricity will stay in the power line.

Answer:The birds will only be electrocuted when electric current flows through them.

Property of Current to know here is that it follows path of least resistance.

Lets see the two paths current has

1. Wire- offers less resistance and hence easier for current to flow.

2. The bird- path with higher resistance thus current continues to flow through the wire.  

However, when the bird touches another wire of differing voltage (say a grounded wire), it does get electrocuted as another path for current to flow.

It is for this reason why it is always advised to wear rubber slippers to avoid electric shock when dealing with electrical appliances because it offers higher resistance and current will follow path of least resistance.

Explanation:Hope this Helps:)

Many people place bat boxes on their property to provide housing that attracts insect -eating bats. Explain how this activity ha
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Bat boxes at homes provide housing to insect-eating bats which has two major positive effects on the environment:

  • Bat boxes provide bats a natural habitat and they act as natural pest control in the environment. They are very helpful for reducing or controlling the population of mosquito and balance the food chain in the environment.
  • Bat is known as very good pollinators which helps in the pollination of flowers or spread their seeds. So bat boxes at home increase pollination in nearby areas and increase biodiversity in the environment.

Hence, bat boxes at houses have a positive effect on the environment.

Answer:

Farming enabled people to grow all the food they needed in one place, with a much smaller group of people. This led to massive population growth, creating cities and trade.

(hi, i dont know about this one personally, but i found an answer somewhere else on the internet thatll hopefully help u)

Answer: They consist of long chains of C, H, and O.

Explanation:

In terms of chemical composition, lipids differ from nucleic acids and proteins because they mostly just contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (except for phospholipids which of course contain phosphorous). In addition to those elements, proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur, and nucleic acids contain nitrogen and phosphorous.

Carbohydrates share the C, H, and O composition as lipids, but they differ in structure. Lipids are generally exist as triglycerides, which consist of a triple hydroxyl alcohol (glycerol) that has bonded to three long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acids) in a triple condensation reaction. Carbohydrates on the other hand are made of carbon ring structures that either remain alone or polymerize into long polysaccharide chains.
