NAME:
Read:
Shock is the sensation of electric current passing from one body to another, through a third conducting body. When a bird lands on a wire, the two are at the same electrical potential (balance between the number of protons – positive charges – and electrons – negative charges). The bird will be shocked if it, resting on the wire, touches another body with a different electrical potential. In this case, it would become an intermediary between the loads of the wire and a tree, for example.
