What is the proper battery cable connection when jumping two automotive batteries?

When jumping two automotive batteries, connect the positive () cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the live battery. Then, connect the negative (-) cable to the negative terminal of the live battery and the other end to a metal surface on the car with the dead battery, away from the battery.


How can you safely jump a car when the positive terminal is red?

To safely jump a car when the positive terminal is red, follow these steps: Connect the red (positive) jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Connect the other end of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the working battery. Connect the black (negative) jumper cable to the negative terminal of the working battery. Connect the other end of the black jumper cable to an unpainted metal surface on the car with the dead battery. Start the working car and let it run for a few minutes. Try starting the car with the dead battery.


How do you connect a wire to make the bulb light?

To connect a wire to make a bulb light up, you need to complete an electric circuit. This involves connecting one end of the wire to the positive terminal of a power source (such as a battery) and the other end to the bulb's positive terminal. Then, connect the negative terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the bulb to complete the circuit and allow electricity to flow, causing the bulb to light up.


How do you jump start a car, and should the red or black cable be connected first?

To jump start a car, first connect the red positive cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then connect the other end of the red cable to the positive terminal of the working battery. Next, connect the black negative cable to the negative terminal of the working battery, and finally connect the other end of the black cable to a metal surface on the car with the dead battery, away from the battery. Start the working car and let it run for a few minutes before attempting to start the dead car. The red cable should be connected first.


How do you safely jump start a car with black and red cables?

To safely jump start a car with black and red cables, first park the cars close but not touching. Turn off both engines and connect the red cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then the other end to the positive terminal of the working battery. Next, connect the black cable to the negative terminal of the working battery, and the other end to a metal surface on the dead car. Start the working car and let it run for a few minutes, then try starting the dead car.

What end does electrons flow in a circuit?

the positive side, the negative side is usually just a ground


How do you hook a car fan to the battery to see if it works?

If you have the fan removed from the car, you can just quickly use jumpers to connect the negative terminal of the fan to the negative terminal of the battery, then connect another jumper to the positive terminal of the fan,and with insulated hands(!) touch the other end to the positive terminal of the battery. If the fan runs, it's fine.


Why is it necessary that an electron returns to the positive terminal of the battery each time another electron leaves the negative terminal?

Electrons are negatively charged, and so are attracted to the positive end of a battery and repelled by the negative end. So when the battery is hooked up to something that lets the electrons flow through it, they flow from negative to positive.


Which cable goes on the positive battery terminal in a 1973 Mercedes 450 sl?

Obviously the positive one....which is best found by being the one that DOESN'T end at a ground point. the easiest solution to that is to start from the starter. the LARGEST (presumibly black) wire from the starter to the battery terminal is the GROUND. that would make the other terminal the positive.


How are the Positive and negative terminals on the simulated electrophoresis gel?

The positive terminal is usually located at the end where DNA migrates towards, while the negative terminal is located at the end where DNA migrates from. This creates an electric field that helps separate DNA fragments based on size.


What does in series mean?

the back to back connection of any component is called series connectionfor exampleif u have 2 battery's with u . u wanna connect them in series thenone of the positive end is taken +ve terminal and the another end of the same battery must be connected to the +ive end of the another battery and then take the -ve terminal from the another end of the second battery


Where are the fuseable links on a 1990 z24?

The fusible links on my '89 Z24 are located at the starter solenoid where the end of the positive battery cable attaches to the large terminal. There may be a fusible link near the positive battery cable in the 10 gauge wire (not the heavy gauge one). Good luck.
