what kind of energy do jumpercables have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a battery, which is generally your car battery, that is attached to two cables from their (+) and (-) ends of the battery (input voltage/out voltage or cathode/anode as you like)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when the ends are attached to a conducting material to make a complete circuit. This sends current through the wires

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you have the jumper ends attached to another car battery (a dead one), it will feed ELECTRIC charge (which is the energy you were looking for) through the circuit, which recharges the battery.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Generally some of the cars own power from the motor recharges a battery, so you don't have to worry about it dying.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

However, if you leave the lights on (like many of us have!) the battery may die and need jumping. It may also need a jump if its at the end of its lifespan, but a jump will keep it breathing for a while longer

thankyou
