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.
Positive and negative wires are commonly found in electrical circuits. The positive wire carries the flow of current from the power source to the load, while the negative wire completes the circuit by providing a return path for the current to flow back to the power source. The positive wire is typically colored red, while the negative wire is usually colored black. It is important to correctly identify and connect these wires to ensure proper functioning of the circuit and to prevent damage to the components.
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.

---------------- You really don't need to replace anything! But his will allow you to ADD the more common negative ground accessories. This will work for tractors, trucks, cars... whatever. Switch the wires at the coil. Reverse your battery connections (turn your battery around and connect positive cable to positive post on the battery) and connect the negative cable to the ground. Connect a wire from the positive post of the battery. Take the other end of the wire and brush it against the "F" (field) post on the voltage regulator until you see a few sparks. DO NOT CONNECT THIS END, just brush it a couple times. Check all your fuses. Reverse the wires on your gauges or the display will be backwards.
The LED will only emit light when its wires are connected to the battery in the correct direction. When it's flipped, it doesn't shine. The designations of its "legs" ... or wires, or terminals, or leads ... tells you which side of the battery each one must connect to, if you want it to shine.
