Question

After the car with the dead battery is running, the cables can be disconnected in the reverse order that they were connected. while unhooking the jumper cables, the positive and negative cables almost touch and a spark jumps between the ends of the cables. this spark is caused by the movement of electrons through the air between the battery terminals. in what direction are the electrons traveling during the spark?

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Electricity is the flow of electrons due to a potential difference called voltage. The electrons naturally flows from a higher to a lower potential. Thus, the electrons flows from the positive to the negative terminal.
