Most likely a fat spark at first then frying of the electical system.

In a 1.5V battery taking the negative terminal as 0.0V what is the electrical potential energy of an electron leaving the negative battery terminal?
Somebody is trying a trick question! The electron that comes out of the negative terminal has zero potential energy. With respect to the positive terminal it has -1.5V of electrical potential energy, and so does every other electron at 0.0V whether or not they came out of the battery.
Where do the electrons go when you discharge them?
In order to make a current flow, there's always a source of power. It may be a battery or some other"power supply". For every electron that comes out of one terminal of the power supply, an electrongoes into the other terminal.
How does electricity flow around a series circuit?
Imagine a series circuit consisting of a battery, a wire from its negative terminal to a lamp, and another wire from its positive terminal to the lamp. The electricity would flow from the battery's negative terminal to the lamp and then back to the positive terminal of the battery: it's always negative to positive. Scientists were not aware of this until long after electricity discovered. They thought electricity flows from positive to negative and this was accepted for a long time. When someone asks you to use conventional current, it means assume the current flows from positive to negative, which is the opposite of what happens in reality. The negative terminal (the technical name for this is cathode) of an electrical energy supply, such as a battery, releases electrons with energy in them. These electrons drift to the appliance (i.e. the lamp in this case). The lamp then uses the energy in the electrons to produce light and heat before letting the electrons out on the other side. These electrons have little or no energy but they would drift back to the battery to regain energy and the cycle continues until the battery is depleted of energy. The electrons leave the lamp at the speed at which they enter the lamp.
How does a torch work-circuit?
A torch is simply a circuit containing a battery, a bulb and a switch. The three components are connected in series (one after the other) to form a loop. The switch simply completes the circuit so that power flows from the battery to the bulb.
What is the function of switch in the circuit?
A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.
How do you hook up a remote starter switch?
If you can get to the starter, you hook up one side of the switch to the terminal that goes to the battery and the other side of the switch to the small terminal marked with and "S". "S" is for starter. The other small terminal you leave alone. Applying power to this terminal will damage the starter.
How do you hook up a switch to a light using a marine battery?
Hey. Same as any battery. Connect the Negative terminal straight to the Negative on the light (if needed), Normally the outer rim of the globe. Connect the positive terminal to the switch, then from the other plug on the switch to the positive terminal to the light. Done.
What describes electricity flowing from a battery though a switch to a light bulb?
Circuit Electrons flow form the positive end of the battery through the wire connecting the positive terminal to a switch. The other end of the switch is connected to one terminal on the bulb, the other terminal of the bulb is connected to the negative end of the battery. No electrons (current) flows as long as the switch is open. Once the switch is closed and if the battery has enough voltage and current capacity to make the filament in the bulb glow, then the bulb emits light (together with wasted heat). If the switch is open, no current flows through the entire circuit and the bulb does not glow.
What wires go where on the starter relay switch of a 1990 Ford 150?
Battery connect to large terminal Starter connect to other large terminal Trigger wire (smaller) connects to small terminal If you have an extra small terminal disregard
What happens if you connect a negative battery terminal to a positive in a Nissan Sentra 2007?
Nothing as long as you did not then connect the other cable.
What happens when you put the negative terminal on the positive terminal and the positive terminal on the negative terminal on a Mercedes-Benz s500?
It could cause the battery to explode. It can also destroy some of the electronics in the vehicle. In other words this would be a very expensive mistake.
How does emergency light switch work?
An emergency light switch uses a relay. A relay has an 5 terminals. The firs two terminals are connected to a flowing current (current flows when there is a normal electricity) The next 3 terminals are the common, the normally on, and normally off. One of the battery terminal is connected to the common, and the other one terminal of the battery is connected to one terminal of the light bulb(which has two terminals) then the other terminal of the light bulb is connected to the normally on terminal of the relay. When current flows to the first two mentioned terminals of the relay, the circuit of the battery and light is cut off or not connected. But when the current is off, this will switch on the normally-on terminal thus current will flow from the battery to the light bulb, that will shed light. ;) on an emergency situation. note: The normally off is not use. And may be use for some purpose.
How many line conductors are installed between the switch and light fixture?
One. A typical "two way" ON-OFF light switch is a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch with two terminals. It is wired in series with the fixture: that is, the power circuit is routed from the breaker to one side of the switch. The other side of the switch is connected to the "phase" or "power" terminal of the fixture. In a 115VAC single phase circuit, the other terminal of the fixture is connected to neutral. A "three way" switch circuit consists of two switches in different locations, each of which is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch with three terminals. A typical use would have one switch at the top and the other at the bottom of a set of stairs. For the sake of clarity, we can label the "common" terminal on a SPDT switch the "C" terminal. This terminal is internally connected to one of the other two terminals, call them "A" and "B", depending of the position of the switch. A three way switch is connected with the circuit breaker connected to the "C" terminal on either switch. Conductors connect the "A" terminal on one switch the the "A" terminal on the other switch and the "B" terminal on one switch the the "B" terminal on the other switch. The remaining "C" terminal is connected to the "phase" or "power" terminal of the fixture. The other terminal of the fixture is connected to neutral. Note that, in either case, there is no neutral wire connected to the switch. Ground conductors do connect to the chassis of the switch box and the fixture, but they do not carry current and do not affect the operation of the circuit.
How do you wire up a kill switch for a mini moto?
On the side of the coil there is a little terminal if you take a wire form that to a switch and the other terminal on the switch and earth it out on the chassis..
Using 1 cell 1 bulb and 1 switch draw a circuit to show bulb working only when switch is not closed?
This answer website does not have the ability to draw diagrams. From the positive side of the battery connect it to one side of the switch. From the other side of the switch connect it to the centre terminal of the first bulb's socket and then continue the wire to the centre terminal of the second bulb's socket. From the negative side of the battery, connect a wire to the shell terminal of the first bulb's socket and then continue the wire to the shell terminal of the second bulb's socket. When you turn the switch on the both lamps will glow.
How do you hook up a dc amp meter?
You disconnect your negative (-) battery terminal and connect one of the meter's probes to the (-) battery cable and the other terminal to the (-) battery post. Set your multimeter to mA/A and select DC.
