Question

A bird is standing on a copper wire that has 200 A flowing through it. The distance between the bird’s feet is 4cm. The cylindrical wire that it is standing on has a diameter of 2cm. The bird has an resistance of 10 MΩ. a. What is the voltage drop between the bird’s feet? b. How much current is flowing through the bird and how much power is being absorbed by the bird? c. What happens to the bird?

Answer 1

Answer: a) V = 4.33×10^-6v

b) I = 4.33×10^-13A

P = 1.88×10^-18W

c) Nothing will happen to the bird. It can never get electrocuted
