Why if you touch positive terminal of the dc supply is not give shock?

If you touch one side and nothing else there is no path for a current to flow, therefore no shock. Don't try this with a supply of 50 v or more.

Suppose you acquire a positive charge from walking across a carpet You then touch a doorknob and receive a shock This leaves you?
electrically neutral :)
When we touch both terminals of a D.C. battery why do we not get a shock as we do from the A.C. supply?
We do, but the power is so much lower that it is very mild and we don't feel it.
Why you get electric shock when current flows opposite direction in a conductor?
When current flows in a conductor you do not get an electric shock provided you do not touch the conductor.
What happens if your hands are wet when you touch a charged object?
If your hands are wet when you touch a charged object, you will get an electric shock or electrocuted.
Why do you keep giving electric shocks to people who you touch?
When you move in dry areas you knock off electrons and change your charge. If you knock off electrons then you go positive. If you gain electrons you go negative. When you touch something or someone that is grounded then the balance of electrons occurs. The transfer of the electrons quickly causes the shock.
How can you reset the ecu on a 2000 Kia Sephia?
Take the positive battery terminal loose and touch it to the negative terminal post for 30 seconds. Then put the positive terminal back on.

Why does your 1983 Chevy van shock you when you touch metal?
The battery is connected. In vehicles the power (electrons) comes from the negative terminal in the battery and your body provided the positive (magnectic inductance) to complete circuit probably from static electricity you had build up.
How do you hook a car fan to the battery to see if it works?
If you have the fan removed from the car, you can just quickly use jumpers to connect the negative terminal of the fan to the negative terminal of the battery, then connect another jumper to the positive terminal of the fan,and with insulated hands(!) touch the other end to the positive terminal of the battery. If the fan runs, it's fine.
Why do you get a shock after walking across carpet?
The static energy that your body generates makes your body have a net positive charge. When you touch a negatively charged item, the electricity is transferred and you get a shock.

Starter location on a 1998 eclipse?
follow the positive wire of the battery and it will lead to the starter becareful not to touch it because it will shock you

How do you manually raise a power window?
Run a wire from the POSITIVE terminal on the battery and touch the red wire (positive) to the window motor and run another wire from the NEGATIVE terminal on the battery and touch the green wire (negative) to the window motor. The window should go down. Reverse the wires to make the window go up.
How do you Manually raise a passenger power window?
Run a wire from the POSITIVE terminal on the battery and touch the red wire (positive) to the window motor and run another wire from the NEGATIVE terminal on the battery and touch the green wire (negative) to the window motor. The window should go down. Reverse the wires to make the window go up.

Where is the ground wire to the starter on a 1996 corolla?
There is no ground wire. The casing of the starter itself is considered the ground. Ex. If you take a battery and use jumper cables to touch the positive lead to the wire terminal on the starter, and then touch the negative terminal to the metal casing it will spin the motor.
