The difference between a positive shear and a negative shear is the direction the beam is distorted into. A force that tends to shear the left portion of the beam upward with respect to the right portion is said to produce a positive shearing force.

Why is the maximum bending moment of a structural member as the point of zero shear?

Shear is the rate at which bending moment changes or shear is its derivative with respect to span. The integral, bending moment, goes through a maximum when shear goes from positive to negative or vice-versa.

Does wind shear separate the positive and negative charges in a cloud?

Wind shear will usually blow away the ionized air. A separation of charges in a cloud occurs, and allows the electric potentials to increase to an extent that a neutralizing discharge must occur, which comes in the form of lightning.
