I believe it causes full power of battery flow to the neg. Where used photons of energy should be.
Perhaps it gets hot enough then leaks?

What are everyday uses of series circuits?
Your battery-powered flashlight is a good example of a DC series circuit. Battery power is DC. The battery is connected to a wire or piece of metal that's connected to a switch that is connected to an incandescent light bulb (resistor/thermistor) which is then connected to another piece of metal or wire which is connected to usually a spring in the end of the flashlight which creates a ground to the negative terminal of the battery.
What happens when a battery is hooked up to an open circuit?
nothings because they is no wire connected to the circuit so no current can flow through
What does the positive battery connect to?
The positive side of the battery is connected to the starter solenoid which is just a high current relay for the starter. It is also connected to the hot all the time bus which is a wire of the same starter solenoid that feeds the fusebox. Negative side of battery is connected to the metal chassis of the auto and/or the engine block. Negative side is also called ground. This technique saves on usage of wire. The autos metal frame is literally used as one big black wire to give all electrical loads in the auto a close point to get to ground.
What ground wire would make a battery spark?
Any wire or other metal object which touches the positive (+) connection of the battery AND the negative (-) battery connection OR the metal bodywork will spark
What is the wire that is connected to the hood and fastened to the fender?
ground wire, all the metal on the car is where any electricial device can be connected to.
Does electricity flow more than 1 pathway?
An electric current is usually thought of as a flow of electrons. When two ends of a battery are connected to each other by means of a metal wire, electrons flow out of one end (electrode or pole) of the battery, through the wire, and into the opposite end of the battery.
What happens if you connect the ground wire to the terminal and the red wire to the - terminal on the car battery ie connect the battery backwards but did not start the car?
once a battery is connected even if the key is not in the ignition, there is always power at certain points in your car. Connecting a battery backwards will not start your car, but it can and will fry the wires to your starter.
How do you connect motor from battery?
There are two circuits on the battery and motor. One wire is take which have four ends. The wire is connected on the desired circuits.
Can a wire connected across a battery's terminal produce current?
Yes
What happens if you leave a wire hooked to a battery to long?
The wire will heat up and melt and the battery may be damged.
What would happen if you connected the ends of a battery in a series circuit with wire?
You would short out the battery. If it was a car battery capable of 300 amps and the wire was big enough, the battery could explode.
What happens when you disconnect the wire from the battery?
Disconnecting a wire from a battery would break the circuit. If the battery was powering a bulb, the lamp would go out.
