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 the LM3914 IC protected against reverse polarity?
i would never naturally assume any circuitry to be "reverse polarity" by default even if they are. since this can fry a lot of IC, and micro controllers. there are several options to adding a reverse polarity protection circuit to your project you can find three easy to implement circuits here: http://provideyourown.com/2012/reverse-polarity-protection-circuits/
Can you reverse the polarity of AC and DC?
We have the capacity to reverse the polarity of a DC voltage, at least as regards what we apply it to. When we consider a DC motor, like, say, the ones in the little "robot wars" we see on TV, the motors can be run in reverse by reversing the polarity of the applied DC voltage. We normally consider AC as already reversing its polarity. It is, after all, AC, which is alternating current. The current alternates because the voltage alternates. We'll avoid any further discussion of the polarity of AC voltages here and leave it at that.AnswerThe problem, here, is that 'polarity' has several different meanings.Polarity, in the sense of 'electric charge' cannot really be applied to a voltage (potential difference) although it can be to a potential (although the polarity is relative; it depends on the point of reference).Polarity, in the sense of 'direction', can be applied to a voltage. For example, is the voltage acting clockwise or counter clockwise around a circuit?Polarity, in the sense of 'connection', can be applied to a voltage. For example, it's important that the line conductor is connected to the centre terminal of an Edison lamp holder or to one or other of the slots in a receptacle (power socket).
Does thermistor have polarity?
No, they have no polarity. They are just like a resistor in terms of polarity, and they allow to measure temperatures because their resistance varies with temperature in a predictable way.
Does galvanometer have polarity?
No, a galvanometer does not have polarity. It is a device used to detect and measure small electric currents. The deflection of the needle in a galvanometer indicates the presence and direction of the current but not the polarity.

What is a dipole dipole bond?
The bond dipole moment measure the polarity of a chemical bond.
What electrical measuring instrument is used to measure polarity index test?
A low resistance ohmmeter is used
What are two examples of polarity?

What is used to check for line voltage sags?
just a digital voltage meter measure at the origin, and then at the end of line
What problems are there with reverse polarity?
Reversing polarity ,changes the rotation of the device you are changing polarity on.
Does space have polarity?
No. Electromagnetic fields have polarity.
What are the applications of electronegativity?
Electronegativity is used in chemistry to predict bond polarity, bond type (ionic or covalent), and reactivity of elements. It is also helpful in determining the shape and polarity of molecules, which can influence their physical and chemical properties.
