Current flowing through railway track
Hello friends every body knows that current flows across the metals and the railway track and the rail compartments all are metal . So friends my question os that of we touch a high voltage wire to the railway track then how far is the current flows across the rail track and what happens if a current passes near by of it. Because the high voltage wore has very high voltage so we cannot consider that the voltage will dies out after some distance because the voltage is very high.since the train boggie is also a metallic so os the passengers got a shock if high voltage wire touches railway track.
So friends pls reply with appropriate reason.
