How do you connect a battery terminal to a cable?
When the two terminals of a battery are connected directly with a wire there will be a low resistance path for the current to flow. The wire will get heated a little bit (depends on the diameter of the wire less the diameter more heat) and the battery will be quickly discharged.
What happens if you connect a wire to a battery?
There are two battery cables: a positive one, usually red, and a negative one, which is usually black. The positive battery cable attaches to the positive battery terminal at one end and to the starter motor on the other end.
What are the wires connected to the positive battery terminal?
Answer: The battery provides a voltage between terminals. The electric field set up in a wire connected to the battery terminals causes the current to flow, which occurs when the current has a complete conducting path from one terminal of the batter to the other. This is called a circuit.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery?
Does red wire go to white or black?
Do you connect positive or negative first?
Do you connect red to positive?
