Question

Find the current through the battery circuits shown in figure.

Answer

Both diodes are forward biased. Thus the net diode resistance is 0. $\text{i}=\frac{5}{\frac{10\times10}{10+10}}=\frac{5}{5}=1\text{A}$ One diode is forward biased and other is reverse biased. $\text{i}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}_\text{net}}=\frac{5}{10+0}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\text{A}$

During a thunderstorm the ‘live' wire of the transmission line fell down on the ground. A group of boys passing through noticed it and some of them wanted to place the wire by the side. As they were approaching the wire and trying to lift it, Bari noticed it and immediately pushed them away to prevent them from touching the wire. Two of them got hunt in the process. Bari took them to a doctor to get medical aid.
Based on the above paragraph, answer the following:
  1. Write two values which Bari displayed during the incident.
  2. Why is it that a bird can sit over a suspended ‘live' wire without any harm whereas touching it on the ground can give a fatal shock?
  3. The electric power from a power plant is set up to a very high voltage before transmitting it to distant consumers. Write the reason for it.
