The car utilizes electricity in different ways. It uses electricity to power electrical accessories such as the radio and helps start the engine through the ignition system. Without the use of electricity, the car would not be able to operate fully. The same goes with the wires and cables used to transfer the flow of electricity to the different components of the car. Their function enables the car to utilize the electricity generated by the battery. Without these different wires and cables, the battery and entire vehicle would be rendered useless.
The cables function by transmitting electricity generated by the battery to the different parts of the car's ignition system. It is usually connected to the battery and can be located easily when the hood of the car is opened. The battery cables consist of thick rubber housing strands of copper that conduct high levels of electricity. There are two types of battery cables, the positive and negative cables. The positive is identified by its red color while the negative cable is black. The ends of these cables are attached to a clamp that is placed to the battery's terminals in order to conduct electricity. Coupled with the use of a coiled cable lock, the cables are secured tightly in place to resists sudden bumps and stops while driving on the road.
A battery's cables are sensitively prone to accumulating dirt and grime. After constant use, the cables' conducting ability may be greatly affected due to the dirt and grime around it. A simple solution would be getting a piece of cloth and cleaning the cables in order to restore it back to its original condition. The failure to maintain these cables in a regular manner could lessen the flow of electricity to the different parts of the vehicle which will lead into a decrease performance. These cables may sustain enough damage to wear it our completely. Once this occurs, the car owner must look for a new set of cables to replace the damaged ones in order to continue using their respective vehicles.
