The man who was electrocuted by 132kV lines

How come he had to climb so high up the pylons and touch the wires without getting shocked all the way? Si I thought that that current has the potential to jump from the cables to any object near it without physically touching the cables?

Uliambiwa ufanye Physics in secondary school ukakataa. Haya ona.

Explain then

Considering suicide by electrocution?

I can’t delete myself from this sweet life

Shifo Iko wapi video. Nikama ilinipita

The metal pylons are even more conductive than the human body. As long as alikua na distance equal to the glass or ceramic insulators he was safe. Lakini vile alijiweka kama fuse kati ya pylon na wire lasma stima ingemtumia kama expressway…

Hii jama angechukua sleepin pills mob banae. You just sleep and never awake.

Mambo ya kupanda pilon ni upuss!

Pale Kapsabet Boys form two nilifunzwa that for electric current to flow, there must be voltage difference. That’s why if you touch a live wire while wearing rubber shoes, nothing will happen to you; however, kama uko bare foot, utakipata since the earth wlll create voltage disparity. Also, the same phenomenon explains why birds can stand on a live wire without getting electrocuted.

Ulitoka Kapz which year?

Ndio maana akili yoko imejaa mafi

Sitaki kujidox chief:D:D I may give myself out.

But birds don’t wear rubber shoes.

Do birds “stand” on the ground while hanging on those lines?

When they stand on one wire, they’re not creating any voltage difference . However, if they put one leg on live wire and another on the neutral wire, they will be nyama chomanized in seconds.

Another thing is that birds have scales on their feet which act as insulators. So actually there are two reasons as to why birds don’t get electrocuted.

Go try out na hizo rubber shoes kwa line ya anything more than 11kV uone kama hutaungua. Hata battery ya more than 1A ya solar itakuua.

:D:D:DI don’t want to be a physics martyr bana. Theory za class naacha kwa class.

Anyway, the higher the voltage, the greater the potential of current flowing via your body regardless of the barrier you have put (rubber shoes).

Electricity ni kama tu water flowing. If it is flowing from a kamlima to a lower ground, ata ueke barrier, bado itabomolewa and the water will keep flowing.

Potential doesn’t flow, current does, that’s why nimekuambia a 30V, 1A battery will kill you regardless of what kind of rubber shoes you are wearing.
