Which order applies to disconnecting a battery for service?

  • A.Positive first, which removes the supply and therefore prevents any short circuit while the work is carried out
  • B.Either order
  • C.Both simultaneously, which prevents any potential difference from existing between the terminals during the work
  • D.Negative terminal first, positive last

Answer: D

Removing the earth first means a spanner touching the body while loosening the positive cannot short the battery. Reconnection is the reverse. It is one of the oldest and most useful workshop conventions. The order in which the effects act is what decides the outcome, so it is worth establishing first. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
