The most likely culprit for a pulsing short circuit and battery drain in a 1993 Geo Metro is the ignition switch or the wiring associated with it. These components can develop wear or poor connections over time, leading to intermittent short circuits. Additionally, check the alternator and its associated wiring, as a failing alternator can also contribute to erratic electrical behavior and battery drain. Lastly, inspect any aftermarket electrical components, as they may not be properly integrated and could create parasitic draws.
The current /electricity will originate in a battery or a dynamo.
When using two batteries in a circuit, common problems that can arise include unequal voltage levels between the batteries, improper battery connections leading to reverse polarity, and differences in battery capacity causing one battery to drain faster than the other. These issues can result in inefficient power distribution, potential damage to the batteries, and overall circuit malfunction.

Batteries are neither positive nor negative ground. It is the circuit itself that determines the common ground. For example: If I have two circuits, one needing 6vdc negative ground and the other needing 6vdc positive ground, the battery would be installed the same way in both circuits (positive terminal on the battery to the positive connection in the circuit, regardless of whether the circuit is positive or negative ground). The reason for labeling the ground as Positive or Negative has more to do with how the circuit is wired up, than the actual voltage source. The explanation for that is beyond the scope of this answer.
It could be any number of things. Most common for the Geo Metro is one of the main engine fuses went out, one of the battery terminals shorted (happens a lot in older Metros), or a main engine component such as your alternator or starter is not working. Hope this helped :)
In general, battery is source of electricity and not the heat source. However, for common use of battery, battery can be a heat source though it is not intended to be. It is because the flow of electrical current through resistance would give out heat. If your battery heat up without cause then it is suspected for the short-circuit. Over charging or oversupply of electricity would also cause the battery heat up.
AA is the most common battery size.
The second component of a circuit typically refers to the second element added to the basic circuit configuration after the power source, such as a battery. Common examples include resistors, capacitors, or inductors, which serve various functions like limiting current, storing energy, or filtering signals. The specific component depends on the circuit's purpose and design, as each element contributes to the overall functionality of the circuit.
Three possible reasons. 1) The bulb is faulty 2) The battery is "flat" i.e. it has no more charge in it or 3) There is a break in the circuit, maybe a poor connection somewhere. Corrosion on battery contacts is a common problem which could cause this symptom.
The common wire in a typical electrical circuit is the neutral wire.
You need a source of electrical potential difference, also known as voltage (which is the technical term for what for you call "electric pressure"). The easiest and most common voltage source is a household battery. Hook up the positive electrode of the battery using a conductor (eg. a copper wire) to one end of your circuit and the negative electrode to the other end, and voila, you'll have electric current flowing through your circuit.
No the base emitter circuit is not the same as a common base circuit. The three BJT circuits all have the base emitter circuit. Wheter each terminal is common to both inputs and outputs of the circuit determines the type of transistor configuration.Henry Lee Everson PE;229-560-9769
