Without the battery hooked up, the current draw is too much for the alternator to keep fire on the plugs.

Why would your engine stutter when turning on the headlights?

Weak alternator. Have the charging system checked. I had a 95 Toyota tercel that totally shut down when the headlights turned on and the cause was for the most part dirty battery connections, when the electrical load was raised the alternator could not immediately keep up and required a moment to adjust, but with a bad battery connection (probably the Positive in my case) it couldn't temporarily draw enough power from the battery to still fire the spark plugs hence the immediate stall.


How do you find a short in the headlight wiring that would cause your engine to die when you turn on your headlights?

I believe if you have a short you should blow a fuse. But if your engine is dying you probably have a bad alternator and/or battery. make sure body ground to motor is still connected. This happened to me in a 95 Toyota tercel and the cause was for the most part dirty battery connections, when the electrical load was raised the alternator could not immediately keep up and required a moment to adjust, but with a bad battery connection (probably the Positive in my case) it couldn't temporarily draw enough power from the battery to still fire the spark plugs hence the immediate stall.


Why does a battery spark when connecting the positive terminal?

When connecting the positive terminal of a battery, a spark may occur due to the sudden flow of electricity between the battery and the connected device. This spark is caused by the initial surge of current as the circuit is completed, creating a brief moment of high electrical resistance that produces a visible spark.

What is the current through the battery?

The current through the battery is the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A), that is being supplied by the battery at a given moment.


How do you make a electromagnet or an electromagnetism?

To make a small electromagnet all you need is an iron nail and some fine isolated wire. Wind a couple of feet of the wire around the nail then connect one side of the wire to the positive side of the battery and the other to the negative. At the moment they are connected to the battery the nail is a magnet and as soon as the power comes of it will have lost most of its magnetism. Just an ordinary torch battery will do.


How many amps in 1.5v aaa battery?

The amp-hour (Ah) rating of a 1.5V AAA battery typically ranges from about 800 to 1200 milliamp-hours (mAh), which translates to 0.8 to 1.2 amp-hours. However, the actual current (in amps) that a AAA battery can provide at any given moment depends on the load it's connected to. For example, if a device draws 100 mA, the battery can theoretically provide that current for about 8 to 12 hours before being depleted.


How the three phase rectification is achieved?

You achieve three phase rectification with a three phase rectifier. There is one in the alternator of you car. You have three windings, connected delta, so there are three terminals. Three diodes are connected to these terminals, anodes towards the terminals, cathodes common and connected to the battery. Three more diodes (for a total of six) are connected to the terminals, cathodes towards the terminals, with the anodes common and connected to ground. At any one moment of time, one winding provides voltage to cause two diodes to conduct, charging the battery. As the alternator rotates, the windings and the diodes take turns, effectively providing a three phase AC to DC power source to the battery. If you look closely, there is another set of three, smaller, diodes connected as well, anodes towards the terminals. These diodes provide power for the integrated regulator, but the six main diodes are large and heatsinked into the frame of the alternator.


What is the singular possessive form of the word moment?

What does it mean sink or source power?

Consider a battery for a moment. A battery can be a source or sink type of power source. A light bulb would be considered a source current. When a battery or other item is being charged is it considered a sinking source.

How do you jumpstart pocketbike?

To jumpstart a pocket bike, first ensure the bike is in neutral and the kill switch is in the "on" position. Connect a fully charged battery or jump starter to the battery terminals, ensuring the positive and negative connections are correct. Once connected, attempt to start the bike; if it doesn't start, wait a moment and try again. If it still fails, check for other issues like fuel flow or spark plugs.
