What meant by one terminal of a car battery said to be connected to ground since it is not really connected to the ground?
'Ground' is an electrical term indicating the return path completing a circuit . ~ See related link below . The negative terminal of a car battery is connected to the chassis of the car. This defines the reference point for measuring voltages in the car. It is possible for the body of the car to be connected to the ground, such as when the car is put on a metal jack. This has no electrical effect, so the body of the car is pretty much equivalent to ground.
