Why do we connect the positive terminal before the negative terminal to ground in a vehicle battery?
How does that work?
By connecting the positive terminal to ground first, any accidental contact of the metal tool with a grounded metal part of the car causes minimal sparking because one of the battery terminals is already grounded. If we connected the negative terminal first, touching the positive terminal with the tool would cause a spark that could ignite battery gases, causing potential explosions.
