What is the difference between negative and ground in AC electric circuits?

There is no 'negative' conductor in an a.c. system. The two supply conductors are termed, 'line' (the 'hot' conductor) and the 'neutral'. The neutral conductor is obtained from the earthed terminal of the distribution transformer's secondary winding (coil) and is, therefore, approximately at the same potential as earth, whereas the line conductor is at (e.g. in the UK) 230 V or (e.g. in North America) 120 V. In a residence, the earth conductor is properly called the 'protective conductor', and its purpose is to provide a low-resistance path back to the source in the event of an earth-fault in the residence, which will cause the appropriate fuse or circuit breaker to disconnect the circuit.

What is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?
Positive electric fields attract negative charges while negative electric fields attract positive charges.
The difference between the circuits?
You have not specified which circuits

What is the difference between parallel circuits and series circuit?
In parallel circuits all positives go to negatives, in series it is positive to positive,negative to negative. The difference example , if 12 vote batteries are in parallel 2 batteries would produce 24 volts, in series you would boost the time required to depleate the battery, but it would stay at 12 volts.

How voltmeter works?
It is connected in parallel and measures potential difference.
What is difference between electric and electronic?
Sometimes the terms are used interchangeably. But roughly speaking, electric circuits include voltage sources such as batteries, as well as "passive" components, such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors - whereas electronic circuits include those, but also additional components with a non-linear characteristic (i.e., a more complicated behavior), such as rectifying diodes and transistors.
What is the relationship between positive and negative electric charges?
The relationship between positive and negative electric charges is in their number of electrons. This causes them to be attracted or repel each other based on this charge.
What is the difference between negative and positive?
Each of them is the negative of the other one.
What is electrical fields?
If you mean an electric field it is the field that surrounds an electric charge. If you have two parallel plates with positive and negative charges, the amount of electric field in the space between the plates is the voltage difference divided by the distance. Electric field E is measured in volts per metre.
