Connecting a load to the negative pole of a battery can cause a reverse flow of current, potentially damaging the battery and the load. This can lead to overheating, short circuits, and even explosions in extreme cases. It is important to always connect loads to the correct polarity to avoid these consequences.

What does a simple circuit consists of?
A simple circuit consists of a power source (such as a battery), a load (such as a light bulb), and wires connecting them in a complete loop. When the circuit is closed, the power source provides electricity to the load, causing it to operate.
What two factors determine the output energy of a battery?
The energy delivered by a battery would depend on-- the battery's voltage-- the resistance of the load connected across its output terminals-- the length of the time the load is connectedThe power delivered by the battery is [ (voltage)2 divided by (load resistance) ].The total energy delivered by the battery is [ (power) multiplied by (time the load is connected) ].
A complete circuit is made of three things?
A complete circuit is made up of a power source (such as a battery), a load (such as a lightbulb), and conductive material (such as wires) connecting the two. When these three elements are connected in a closed loop, electrons can flow through the circuit, allowing the load to receive electrical energy and operate.
What does an electric current need in order to flow?
An electric current needs a closed circuit, which provides a complete path for the flow of electrons. This circuit typically includes a power source, such as a battery or generator, connecting wires, and a load, such as a light bulb or motor, that utilizes the electricity. Without a closed circuit, electrons cannot flow continuously and no electric current is generated.
How does the energy that the battery gives to each coulomb of charge compare to the energy that this charge gives to the load?
The energy that a battery gives to each coulomb of charge is equal to the voltage of the battery, measured in volts. This energy is used to move the charge through a circuit. The energy that this charge gives to the load is determined by the resistance of the load and the current flowing through it, according to Ohm's Law (E=IR). The relationship between the battery's voltage and the load's resistance and current ultimately determines the efficiency of energy transfer in the circuit.
Name the composition of the battery negative and positive plates in a typical lead acid battery?
Its all a load of poo.
How do you know if there is a problem with the positive wire to the battery?
I follow the following procedure:Visual inspection for breaks, corrosion, heat damage, kinks and damage to the connecting endsRemove the battery end and check on the connecting surfaces on the cable and batter and if applicable the connecting boltIf I suspect and hidden problem I take a Volt meter (Multy Meter and measure battery voltage at the battery terminals with a considerable load on the battery (starter if Possible), not the connectors or connecting bolts if at all possible. Then I check at the Starter stud under the same load. There should be less than .2 volts difference in the two readings.If the problem is to another load (stereo, head lights etc) I check the same wayjust using the wire that runs to that item and that item to provide the load for testing.
What happens when you stick two 9 volt batteries together?
If you connect positive to positive and negative to negative you will have a 9V battery with twice the current capacity in milliampere hrs than a single batteries. The load then goes between positive and negative paralleled terminals. If you connect one negative of one battery to one positive of the other battery and put the load between the remaining negative and positive terminals you have created an 18 V battery with the same milliampere hr rating as a single battery. If you connect one negative to positive of other battery and the negative of that battery to the positive of the first battery then both batteries with quickly drain and get hot in the process. Contrary to folklore or urban lefends, they do not explode.
Can you test the output amps of a DC generator with no load?
Any voltage source, whether a generator or a battery, will NOT supply an output current unless it is connected to a load. So the only way to test the output current is by connecting it to a load.
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.
How do you wire three 12 V batteries to make 36 V?
The batteries should be wired in series. Electrically, it looks like this: Positive lead to car (+ -) ----- (+ -) -----(+ -) Negative lead to car Each set of parentheses represents a battery, the dotted lines are wires connecting the middle battery to the battery on each side. This will give you 36 volts at the positive and negative leads going to the car. The other option is wiring in parallel, which gives you 12V, but triples the load capacity.
How do you check the battery on 1997 Chrysler Cirrus?
The make and model of your vehicle has nothing to do with checking the battery. A battery is a battery. Before testing a battery, it must first be palced on a charger for a long enough period of time to be fully charged. Then a battery is tested by measuring the voltage while the battery is under an electrical load. I do not recall the amount of load [measured in Amps or watts], but it should be fairly heavy. Store bought testers have the required load built in so the only action necessary is to properly connect [making sure of correct polarity, i.e., red to red (positive to positive), and black to black (negative to negative)] the clamps of the tester to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. The instructions with the tester will explain how to read the meter, and what values should be.
How do you connect two deep cycle 12-volt batteries in parallel to an RV?
Assuming neither battery is used to start the engine, simply connect the positive (+) terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Then connect the negative (-) terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Connect the load circuit to the positive and negative terminals of one of the batteries as usual. You may want to charge the batteries separately before making the connection, since connecting a charged battery to a discharged battery will result in a very large current flowing from the charged battery to the discharged battery, possibly damaging the wiring or either battery.
What are three elements needed for a simple circuit?
1.. A power source ... {i.e. an alternator or generator} 2.. A load ... {i.e. a motor, a light bulb, a heater, etc.} 3.. A means of transporting the current from the source to the load ... {aka wire}
What does a simple circuit consists of?
A simple circuit consists of a power source (such as a battery), a load (such as a light bulb), and wires connecting them in a complete loop. When the circuit is closed, the power source provides electricity to the load, causing it to operate.
How do you measure current passed through the load?
by connecting ampere meter in series with load.
Does a battery last longer in a series or parallel circuit?
A battery doesn't see a series or parallel circuit. It just supplies the current that is demanded by the load be it a series or parallel load. Visualize that a single load across a battery is both a series and parallel load to the battery.
