When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.

When a cow touches an electric fence, it completes the circuit, allowing the electric current to flow through the cow's body to the ground, causing a mild shock sensation. The shock is designed to deter animals from trying to breach or test the fence boundary.
Urinating on an electric fence can result in an electric shock due to the current passing through the urine stream and into the body. This can be dangerous and potentially cause injuries. It is important to avoid contact with electric fences to prevent accidents.
Flying a kite close to electricity wires can cause an electric shock because the kite and its string can conduct electricity from the wires to the person holding it. This can happen if the kite touches the wires, creating a path for electricity to flow through. It is important to maintain a safe distance from power lines to avoid the risk of electric shock.
You feel the tingly sensation after an electric shock because of the shocked heart.
Static shock is a sudden discharge of static electricity, often felt as a mild tingling or stinging sensation when touching an object. Electric shock, on the other hand, is the flow of electric current through a person's body, which can result in injury or even death depending on the intensity and duration of the shock. Static shock is generally harmless, while electric shock can be dangerous.
Electric shock injuries are caused by lightning or electric current from a mechanical source passing through the body
