What else can I help you with?
What is the circuit when jump starting a car battery. Series or parallel?
Parallel
Does car's alarm use battery a lots and battery gone in a couple of days?
no it doesn't if the door is opened when its ON it makes a circuit and starts the car alarm
In what circuit are the cells wired up inside the car battery?
They are wired in series.
Is a free flowing path an example of a closed circuit?
It is a closed circuit if there is a load in the circuit (light bulb etc), otherwise it is a short circuit (+ to - on a car battery with a screwdriver)
Will an alternator put out power if not hooked up to a battery and y?
No, the battery is part of it's circuit. In fact nothing in the car will work without the battery.
Is it normal for a car battery to spark when connecting it?
No, it is not normal for a car battery to spark when connecting it. Sparks can indicate a poor connection or a short circuit, which can be dangerous and should be addressed immediately.
What is the purpose of the battery in the circuit?
The purpose of the battery in a circuit is to wive energy to the circuit
94 sentra Car battery light comes on and off what can cause?
have the alternator circuit checked
What happens if live wire on battery touche car bodywork?
i believe it would short circuit
Why is there a positive and a negative in a car battery?
Because you won't get a complete and closed circuit without a ground.
Why can a car battery have an open-circuit terminal voltage of twelve volts but be unable to start the car and thus be considered dead?
A fully charged cell in a car battery produces 2.2 volts, there are 6 cells in a battery. That would make true open circuit voltage on a fully charged battery at 13.2 volts. So a 12 volt open circuit reading is a discharged battery. The battery can have enough chemical reaction to produce voltage but not enough potential or power to crank the engine. Think about a fresh 9 volt battery. It is big enough to produce 9 volts, but not enough to crank a car or even light the dome light dimly. A car battery wears out slowly from the time it is purchased. Eventually it doesn't have enough power or amperage left to operate the car.
What causes a car battery to bulge?
The bulging is caused by gassing. This is caused by overcharging or by a short circuit inside the battery. The acid inside the battery is turned to gas and it expands the sides of the battery.
