Nothing. An auto battery system is 12V DC. If both terminals aren't in the loop (positive through the current path and back to negative) nothing happens.

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.


What is a battery method of a single phase transformer?

Connect a VOM to one winding. Momentarily connect a battery to the other winding. When the battery makes contact, a pulse will occur on the other winding. If the pulse is positive, then the terminal connected to the plus lead is in phase with the lead connected to the battery.


Should you connect both ends of a battery in a circuit?

Yes, both ends of a battery should be connected in a circuit to create a continuous flow of electric current. When one end of the battery is connected to one terminal of a component and the other end to the other terminal, a closed circuit is formed, allowing electricity to flow and power the device.


How do you use a single terminal car horn on a two terminal electrical wiring system?

On a vehicle, the return path to the battery is through the vehicle's framework. The negative terminal of the battery is connected to the frame of the vehicle. The reason there is only one terminal on the horn is that, that is all that is needed to make the horn operate. Applying the positive side of the battery to the single terminal which is connected to the horn's coil will make it operate. When the horn is bolted to the vehicle this completes the circuit back to the negative terminal of the battery. Apply the 12VDC to the horn by pressing on the horn button which closes the circuit and the horn activates. A horn with only one terminal has its coil grounded internally within the horn. A horn with two terminals has the coil isolated from the ground. On a two terminal horn there needs to be a wire installed to the frame on one of the terminals to make the horn operate.


How can a capacitor be charged using a battery?

A capacitor can be charged using a battery by connecting the positive terminal of the battery to one terminal of the capacitor and the negative terminal of the battery to the other terminal of the capacitor. This creates a flow of electrons from the battery to the capacitor, storing electrical energy in the capacitor.


How can you use a wire battery and a light bulb to test an item to see if it is a conductor of electricity?

I am going to assume you meant Three wires, Battery and Light Bulb. (punctuation and plurals are important) Hook the light to one post of the battery Hooked from the light to the item being tested (use the other light connection, not the one connected to the battery) connect the other end of the test item to the unused terminal on the battery. Light comes on means it conducts electricity No Light, it does not.


How do you connect a 24 volt charger to two 12 volt batteries?

You connect the batteries in series Red charger lead to one red battery terminal, then the black battery terminal of that battery to the red battery terminal of the second battery. Then black battery terminal of the second battery to the black lead of the charger.


How can two batteries be connected in series to create a circuit?

To connect two batteries in series, you would connect the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the other battery. This creates a circuit where the voltage of the batteries adds up, providing a higher total voltage for the circuit.


Why is a battery always connected so that one wire goes to the batteries positive terminal and one to the negative terminal?

To have flow of electricity, you must make a complete circle of metal (or other conductor of electrons). This is called a circuit. If at any time the circuit becomes broken, the current automatically stops, because the power has nowhere to go.


What should batteries be connected to in order to obtain higher voltage?

To obtain a higher voltage, batteries should be connected in series. In a series connection, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, which allows the voltages of each battery to add together. For example, connecting two 1.5V batteries in series results in a total voltage of 3V. This method increases the overall voltage while maintaining the same capacity (amp-hour rating) as a single battery.
