Episode Why the Pigeon Doesn't Fry (Physics Level 8)
The bird's secret is that a volt isn't something a wire has. It's a difference between two points. We'll chase that idea until it gives us one equation, and by the end you'll be able to work out exactly why the bird lives.
The bird isn't tough. The maths protects it. Small V over big R means almost no I. The listener leaves able to say what potential difference is and how to measure it, state R = V/I in ohms, and rearrange it with the triangle to explain a real-world puzzle.
