It's not how much voltage..that's set by the battery around 12.7 volts..it's the time/current. If a very fine wire is connected between the 2 terms the wire will disintegrate similar to a fuse but a higher temperature. A heavy cable capable of carrying several hundres amps ..like 4/0..will get hot instantly..maybe enough for it to melt. If it doesn't melt the battery's internal components will reach a critical temp..the plates will quickly bow and bend, fluids and gels will boil and the terminals will blow off the battery or the battery will explode. If you're thinking of trying this..make out a will first. The rest of us will read of your demise in the Sun. This reaction occurs extremely fast...milliseconds...
The batteries in a flashlight provide the voltage difference needed to power the bulb. The chemical reaction inside the batteries generates electrical energy which creates the potential difference, or voltage, between the positive and negative terminals of the battery.
The source of voltage in an electrical circuit is typically a power source, such as a battery or a generator, that provides the energy needed to push electric charges through the circuit.
To measure volts accurately in an electrical circuit, use a digital multimeter set to the voltage range needed. Connect the multimeter probes to the circuit's positive and negative terminals. Read the voltage displayed on the multimeter screen for an accurate measurement.
A basic electrical circuit needs a voltage supply (battery or household outlet), wiring to carry electrons to and from the voltage supply to the load, and a load (motor, light, heat element, stereo, blender, whatever).
An AC capacitor is an electronic component that stores and releases electrical energy in alternating current (AC) circuits. It functions by storing charge when voltage is applied across its terminals, and then releasing this stored energy when needed to help regulate voltage levels and filter out noise in the circuit.
To answer this question the voltage is needed.
The battery in a circuit diagram provides the electrical energy needed to power the components in the circuit. It acts as a source of voltage, creating a potential difference that drives the flow of electric current through the circuit.
Attaching conductors to both the positive and negative terminals of a power supply is essential to complete the electrical circuit, allowing current to flow. The positive terminal provides the voltage needed to drive the current, while the negative terminal serves as a return path for the current. Without connecting both terminals, the circuit remains open, preventing any electrical devices from receiving power. This setup ensures proper functioning and safety of the electrical system.
The voltage regulator for a 1995 Saturn SL2 is in the alternator. Check your charging voltage after the engine is started and has run a few minutes. Should be better than 14 to 15 volts at the battery terminals. Make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. Had a neighbor replace alternator, battery and starter and all he needed was a good connection to the battery, which I supplied. To load test the alternator, turn on the headlights on high beam, heater fan to top speed and the rear window defoger. Battery voltage should not drop more than 0.25 volts with the engine turning a little faster than idle. Hope this helps.
The function of a battery is to provide electrical energy to devices which are connected to it.
Battery chargers generally operate at the same voltage as the voltage as the battery they are charging. They usually vary the amperage they feed into the battery to recharge it. A trickle charger usually only feeds a few amps into a battery to recharge it slowly over time. A fast charger feeds more amps for less time to bring the battery to full charge faster. Automotive alternators are the only charging systems that I am familiar with that generate more voltage than the battery they are charging. That's because they have to run the car AND recharge the battery at the same time. Car alternators can vary their amperage and voltage outputs to allow for the varying demands of the car and all of it's electrical devices and recharge the battery as needed.
A difference of potential (voltage) and a conductor connected to the voltage source will cause current flow. Not that you'd want to "short out" a voltage source with a piece of wire, but just the source of voltage and the conductor would permit current to flow. If you took a piece of wire and touched it to the terminals of a good battery, current would flow. It takes just those two things to create a current.
