Where is negative battery terminal on a citroen?

The negative battery terminal is on the battery. They don't have a wire coming from it like they do the positive. For charging purposes, the engine block acts as the battery ground. When disconnecting the negative at the battery, the negative terminal usually has a black wire and the positive has a red.

How you can indicate the current direction in the network?

If we go for the diagramatic representation then battery positive is represented by the long terminal and battery negative is represented by the short terminal then the direction of the current is given by an arrow from positive terminal to negative terminal (Therotically electrons flow from negative to positive but we represent current flow from positive to negative. This is the sign convention )


A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express this difference in energy?

That's a difference in electrical potential, not potential energy.It's described in units of "volts".


What is the difference between battery code 27 and 27F?

The difference between these two battery codes is the arrangement of the terminal posts. When the battery is installed correctly in a vehicle, as you're looking at it from the front of the vehicle, a 27 will have the negative post on the left side and the positive post on the right. A 27F battery has opposite post positions...positive terminal on the left and negative on the right.


Why do you not get battery symbol on your laptop sometimes after you on power supply in your laptop made by Toshiba model no A200?

Note: When interconnecting A200 batteries (cells), they must be identical in voltage and amp rating! Batteries may be connected in series. The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery; the positive terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third, and so on. The voltage of the assembled battery is the sum of the individual batteries. The batteries are connected: + to - to + to - to + to -, etc. The capacity of the battery is unchanged. Batteries may also be connected in parallel. The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second battery, the positive terminal of the second is connected to the positive of the third; the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery, the negative terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third and so on. The batteries are connected: + to + to + and - to - to -. In this configuration, the capacity is the sum of the individual batteries and voltage is unchanged.


When an ammeter is connected in a circuit which terminal of the battery must be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter?

The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
