You can get the positive and negative wires for a class project at a store that sells the Physics apparatus.
A 220 vac circuit has 2 hot wires and a neutral. The neutral stays at 0 volts and the hot wires vary between positive and negative. When one is positive, the other is negative.
Depending on colours of course black is usually negative and the other colour (generally red but depends) is positive. Get a D-cell Battery. Now get two pieces of speaker wire. hold one wire on the positive terminal of the battery and hold the other on the negative side of the battery. touch the wires to the positive and negative posts on the speaker. if the cone moves out ward the positive and negative are correct if it moves inward then the positive and negative are reversed (out of phase.) this simple test will allow you to see which terminal is which.

Look for a + by the positive terminal and a - by the negative terminal, or red for positive, black for negative. Some batteries have the positive terminal protruding and the negative terminal flat. Or you can get a meter that will tell you which is which,
Negative * positive = negative Positive * positive = positive Negative * negative = positive
red is positive and black is neutral...if the wires are red and black.
The positive wires for IAT sensor on a dodge ram are the red ones. The black wires are are ones that serve as the negative cables.Ê
One way to tell the difference between positive and negative wires is by their color coding. Positive wires are typically red, orange, or another bright color, while negative wires are usually black or another dark color. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage: the positive wire should show a higher voltage than the negative wire when tested.
Positive is normally red and negative is normally black or green. Test them with a volt meter to be sure.
red positive, black negative
Usually red is for positive and black is for negative.
The red wire and terminal on a 2008 Honda Civic are the positive wires for the battery. The black wires and terminal is the negative battery cable.

In DC measurements, the red wire typically indicates the positive polarity (+) while the black wire indicates the negative polarity (-). It's important to connect the red wire to the positive terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal when taking measurements to ensure accuracy and avoid damaging the equipment.
red is positive on a negative ground system
All electrical components have positive and negative wires to complete the circuit.
Although the red (positive) and black (negative) are common variations, positive usually comes with a line (e.g gray with black or white line)
