For an electric water heater on alternating current, there is not 'positive' or 'negative'. There should be terminals labeled hot and neutral, though.

In a gas water heater: The gas flame warms the water, exactly the same way as a gas stove burner does for a pan of water on the stove. In an electric water heater, an element - same as an electric range element, but a different shape - heats up from electrical current, and transfers that heat to the water.

Testing the Electric Hot Water Heater Element?
If the water from the faucet is tepid or cold, it might be time to check the electric hot water heater element. Electric hot water heaters are equipped with two heater elements that heat water. They do so through an electrical current the goes through the element. The lower element does the hard work and is most likely to be the first that burns out. Turn off the electricity, and disconnect the wires at the heating element terminals. Set the multimeter to read resistance. Touch the clips on each terminal of the element. If the Ohmmeter doesn't budge, the element is shot.
