What happens when the lamp terminals are short circuited?
Simple activity showing the effect of shorting out a bulb. A short makes the circuit behave as if the component wasn’t there. The component stops working (it isn’t there, after all) and the current everywhere in that circuit will increase, which can damage other components or, in extreme cases, cause a fire.
Where are the positive and negative battery terminals?
)The positive cables were on the positive battery terminal (loosely, not tight) and the ground cable was not connected. Of course there were little burn like spots on the wrench where it touched the terminals but I figured no harm no foul. Now when I turn on my ignition, nothing, dead, no gauges, nada.
What happens if you short circuit a battery terminal?
If it is a battery that is shorted, the battery will be discharged very quickly and will heat up due to the high current flow. If a charged, high-voltage capacitor is short circuited by a thin wire, the resulting huge current and power dissipation will cause the wire to actually explode.

Can a wrench touch both battery terminals, now ignition dead?
Wrench touched both battery terminals, sparks, now ignition is dead. HELP! I installed a new primary battery in my 2004 236 Sunesta which I have done many times.
What happens if you touch the battery post?
Very scary stuff. Don’t be afraid of the battery, but respect it, and don’t touch the 2 terminal posts together with something metal. Don’t mess with the battery cables unless it’s absolutely necessary. The cable is not as important as the anode.
Do you disconnect the positive terminal first or the negative terminal?
When you remove a battery from a car you should ALWAYS disconnect the negative terminal first and then the positive. The reason for this is because as soon as you disconnect the negative terminal there is no way you can accidentally short the battery when removing the positive terminal.
What happens if you touch a negative battery terminal?
The negative terminal was connected as well at the time this happened. Also, the car was off (it was not running). After I settled down I started up the car and everything seems to be ok. Should I be worried about any potential/possible damage?
