Yes, the electrode holder (stinger) is positive and the ground is negative which means you would be welding DC positive.

What are the roles of static and current electricity in producing lightning?

This enormous electrical discharge is caused by an imbalance between positive and negative charges. During a storm, colliding particles of rain, ice, or snow increase this imbalance and often negatively charge the lower reaches of storm clouds. Objects on the ground, like steeples, trees, and the Earth itself, become positively charged-creating an imbalance that nature seeks to remedy by passing current between the two charges.


What should be done after replacing a battery and it still will not start in a lawnmowerShould I check all the connections?

The starter solenoid might be bad. Try running a wire from the positive post to the starter and see if turns. If it does, solenoid probably bad. Also, check to make sure ground was put all the way back on and to make sure that the ground is still hooked to the body of the mower. Good Luck!!!


How are loads transmitted to the ground?

Loads are not really transmitted to ground. Yes, there is parasitic induction due to capacitive coupling, but the return path for the hot conductor(s) is(are) another hot conductor(s) or neutral. While neutral is grounded, it is essentially a single point connection and, by Kirchoff's current law, has little or no current through ground. It would seem that this is contradicted by the wye connection because, ultimately, neutral is grounded, making the ultimate return path to be ground. In fact, however, looking at the big picture, each leg in the wye connection is balanced, so it looks like a delta connection. Unless there is some fault, the net current on ground, as seen by the substation transformer, and by the earth ground between it and the service drop, is nominally zero.

When welding with DCEN the electrode is positive and the work is negative?

DCEN means Direct Current Electrode Negative. Hook the welding cable to the Positive connection (+) on the machine, the ground cable to the Negative connection (-) Electricity travels from Negative pole to Positive pole.


What polarity is used for stick welding?

Reverse. Using a D C machine, electricity travels from the negative post to the positive post. Connecting the electrode holder to the positive post and the ground clamp to the negative post means the current flows from the work to the electrode - reverse polarity. In A C machines it doesn't matter which post the electrode holder is connected to.


What current always travels from the negative electrode to the positive electrode?

I don't believe so if my memory is correct. The way an auto mechanic explained it to me was "it's easier to understand and see in a schematic". Here is a question another teacher had ask, why is the electrode on a spark plug a positive ground? I never did find out why!! Although this knowledge will never do me a lick of good, I would still like to know. Arthunt31@gmail.com. 11/15/11 <<>> Conventional current flow is from positive to negative. Electron flow is from negative to positive.

Some never used positive ground and always had negative ground. The last year that I know where positive ground was used was in 1969 when Jaguar switched to negative.
