Textbook Question
Chapter 26.4, Problem 1DE
If the jumper cables of Example 26–10 were mistakenly connected in reverse, the positive terminal of each battery would be connected to the negative terminal of the other battery (Fig. 26–16). What would be the current I even before the starter motor is engaged (the switch S in Fig. 26–16 is open)? Why could this cause the batteries to explode?
