I have seen 1 video in which a person getting shock while
standing at top of a train,i have 1 question?
why the people sitting in the train doesn't get shock while
that man getting shock from top of the train? How the
earthing of train works?

Answer Posted / shashidara reddy

current will flow only when there is a difference in
potential(voltage difference),persn touches the wire is
between ground(zero potential) and the line (line
voltage ,usually 25000 volts ) . where as people in train
are at same potential(or as train body made of metal which
is good conductor bypasses all current) so no current and
no shock.
