the mechanical device bymeans of which an electricconnection to an apparatus isestablished.
the point of current entryto, or point of currentdeparture from, any conductingcomponent in an electriccircuit.
So any electric appliance (in a vehicle) has a point at which electricity passes into and out of it in the electric circuit. Those points are the terminals.

How do you install car battery?
Connect the terminal to the body of the car first, i.e. the nagative terminal, then connect the positive terminal.
What is red color on battery?
The red terminal on a car battery is the positive terminal which feeds electrical current to various devices. The black terminal is the negative, or ground, terminal which is attached to the car frame.
What side is the negative on a battery in a car?
It will vary from car to car, but the neg is usually black, and has a "-" sign. Normally the positive terminal is larger than the negative terminal.

Why most car bodies are attached to the negative terminal of the battery?
The DC electrical system of the car requires a positive and negative electrical conductors for each electrical device. Taking the example of a single lightbulb powered by the car battery, this could require a wire leading from the positive terminal of the battery to one terminal on the lightbulb and a second (return) wire leading from the other terminal on the lightbulb back to the negative terminal on the battery. Two wires are required - a positive and negative. To reduce the quantity of wires required, the negative "wire" is actually the car body. Hence there is a positive wire leading from the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of each electrical device on the car and the negative terminal of each electrical device on the car is connected to the car body (a metal conductor). The body of the car is then connected to the negative terminal of the battery, completing the circuit. There are virtually no return wires. This works as cars use a low voltage (12 V). If they used a higher voltage, this system could result in electric shock from touching the car body.
