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) resistance of the bird is too high
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) resistance of the bird is too high
Correct option (C) capacitance of the bird is too small and the line frequency is too small.
Explanation:
Xc = 1/ωC = is very large therefore bird does after very high capacitive reactance in the path of A.C. current.
