Where is the positive or negative lead and the ground on a CB radio?

To get a positive you can go straight from the battery or the fuse box. To ground the CB you should ground it to the body being sure you have a connection to bare metal. A better way is to run a cable, along withe the positive side, directly to the battery. If you run power or ground to the fuse box and a short occurs, you may knock out important systems on the vehicle. Best go directly to the battery, with in-line fuses on both sides of the line.

Can you charge two 6v batteries in a series with a 12v charger and which posts do you connect the charger to?
Yes you can. Connect the chargers positive lead to the positive of one battery, then the negative side of that battery to the positive side of the other battery, then connect the negative lead of the charger to the negative of the second battery. Double check all your connections and turn on the charger.
How do you measure polarity?
In a DC circuit, just connect your meter across the source or electrical bus. The meter, because it is one of the newer digital ones, will work regardless of which way the leads are connected. If the leads are plugged into the meter correctly, the investigator need only look at the sign associated with the reading on the meter and the position of the leads. If the reading on the meter is "13.6 V" on a DC setting, then the red lead is connected to the positive side or negative rail, and the black to the negative side or negative rail. Conversely, if the reading is "-13.6 V" on a DC setting, the red lead is on the negative side or negative rail, and the black lead is on the positive side or positive rail. The DMM is a wonderful innovation and will allow someone making measurements to not have to worry about which way to connect the leads - as long as that someone pays attention to the sign displayed with the voltage reading.
Is it any problem if male and female participate in sex if they have same blood group?
no,but if ur group is positive and ur wife is negative it can lead to severe jaundice to ur newborn
Does the number of positive factors affect the sign of the product?
No. Any number of positive factors will lead to a positive product.
How can we check the starter's external wiring circuit for volt drop?
For voltage drop checking on the wire from the battery positive post to the starter main terminal, you place the voltmeter reading on the 1 to 3 volt range, (or what lower range you have). You then place one voltmeter lead on the positive battery post, the other lead you place on the starter positive terminal and have someone crank the engine. While the engine is cranking, you observe the voltage drop. It should be less than a volt. This seems strange because you would think the cable would not drop voltage but it sure can. If the battery post is dirty or bad connection, you could see a voltage drop all the way to the maximum 12 volts battery voltage depending upon the connection. Also you can check the return path the same way--- Negative case of the starter to the negative post on the battery for voltage drop. If it is more than a volt or two, you have a bad ground return circuit.
How do you tell which battery lead is positive or negative?
The negative should lead to the frame, block, or body. The positive will lead to the starter and fuses.The negative should lead to the frame, block, or body. The positive will lead to the starter and fuses.
How do i wire a 12 volt cigarette lighter plug on to a device like a c.b.radio?
On American cars the positive lead from your cigarette lighter is in the center of your socket. The adapter plug has the positive lead on the tip of the adapter and the negative lead on the side of the adapter. You need to use a volt-ohm meter to find out which wire comes from each lead. (You may be able to open the adapter and follow the wires that way).On the c.b. radio the positive lead should be red. This will connect to the positive lead on the adapter. The black lead on the c.b. radio is the negative lead. This will attach to the negative lead on the adapter.P.S. Usually the adapter will have a fuse built into it to protect from incorrect wiring.
On a 12 volt positive ground dc system how do you charge the battery?
You basically just reverse the charger's leads, attaching the positive lead to the `ground side' (chassis) and the negative lead to the negative connection on the battery. I'm assuming of course that you're referring to a British made automobile.
0n an LED what are the names of the positive and the negative leg?
Anode and cathode. Anode = negative lead, cathode = positive lead.
What is chasis ground?
Chassis Ground is your entire vehicle metal structure. The negative side of all electronic components and controls (radio, ignition, lights, etc.) are connected to this structure (frame). The Battery has a black and red cable. The black cable (negative lead or cable) is bolted to this structure creating the Ground. This is called a Negative Ground System. The positive (red cable from battery) is the supply voltage to all these components. The Ground (black and Chassis of the vehicle) is how the voltage returns to the battery.
How do you test a car battery by removing the ground wire?
Put the red test lead on the positive and the black test lead on the negative post of the battery and see the result.
What does it mean when i have no fire but i changed out my ignition coil and my pick up coil inside the distributor on a 1987 ford bronco 302 v8 fi?
Your coil has a positive and negative side and if there is no power to the positive side you will not have any spark: However, if you have no ground to the negative side you will have the same problem. Check for power and ground with a volt meter.To check for power, connect red lead from volt meter to positive side of coil and black lead to negative side of battery, you should read 12 volts with key on. To check ground, connect black lead from volt meter to negative side of coil and red lead to positive side of battery, you should read 12 volts with key on.

Is the negative terminal the ground?
yes the negative terminal is the ground. also it is the black lead that goes to it
Should you disconnect the positive or negative battery terminal first?
Negative, that way if hit a ground while on pos bolt it wont short out.
How do you hook up a charger to a 98 Monte Carlo battery?
A charger is hooked to a 98 Monte Carlo battery by attaching the positive lead to the positive battery post and the negative lead to a strong ground. The charger is set to the desired rate and plugged in.
What are positive and negative effects of terrorism?
It might lead to war.
