# It's not grounded at all..
This entire thread is fictional.

Which should not detract from the original beauty of the slop work!
(said bird could spread it's legs across MILES of wire, if it is still not grounded to earth, no shorting effect)

Ok, on a wire... if you put a meter across a section of wire with a current going through it, you will indeed get a potential difference regardless of grounding. Cos wires aren't superconducting.

That's what I learned at skool =)

# Do you remember the bit about shortest route to earth?

# When currents are involved
Then you can start the math for the incidence of lethality

I hope you are more learned than me as you are hopefully the future.. any hoo, my bed calleth, g'night :)

# there is a minimum current for conductivity
and bird vs steel your more likely to get a current excited in the birds (magneticaly premiable) body resulting from the magnetic field surrounding the cable, than from the diference in distance of its legs on the wire when it lands.

# unless you have a very slaggy bird who has legs that are miles apart
uhmm and are very wet with some kind of juices
edit nn mikenco

Resistivity = 11.8 × 10-6 Ωcm" for steel at 0c
resitance of a dead chicken (Frozen) over the aproximate distance of a starling groin = thats not really fair i mean its forzen and full of water. im going to have to put an ohmeter over a birds groin while its still alive to find out. this is how scientology wins so many arguments. its because people just cant be bothered to refute such atupid claims. Im going to make myself a gin and orange and sulk. and let you win the argument i was having with myself.

# EGGSACLY!
So, the question remains, how far apart would a birds legs have to be before it got zapped!

Jamnog too lazy, ahh well, me too! Time for Youngs Special
