The left side of a magnet is not defined as negative; instead, magnets have two poles: the north pole and the south pole. The north pole is often associated with the direction a compass needle points, while the south pole is the opposite. The terms "positive" and "negative" are typically used in the context of electric charges, not magnetism. Thus, it's more accurate to refer to the sides of a magnet as north and south rather than negative or positive.
Current flows from positive to negative.Electrons flow from negative to positive.This is historic, and arbitrary.Another AnswerThe original answer is not wholly correct, and neither is it correct to say that the direction of an electric current is 'arbitrary'. Current direction is defined in terms of its direction through a load (never through the voltage source, such as a battery or generator).An electric current is a flow of charged particles. In metal conductors, these arenegatively-charged electrons. Therefore, in metal conductors, current flows from negative to positive through a load. This is because the negative electrons in a conductor are repelled by an external negative charge and attracted towards an external positive (or 'less negative') charge.In the 18th century, long before the nature of the atom was understood, scientists, such as Benjamin Franklin believed that an electric current was the flow of some mysterious 'fluid' that moved from a higher pressure to a lower pressure. Naturally, the considered the higher pressure to be 'positive' and the lower pressure to be 'negative'. Therefore, they believed current flowed from 'positive to negative'. Faraday agreed with this direction, based on his observations of his experiments in electrolysis (although he thought that current was a 'field' rather than a 'fluid'). Unfortunately, they were wrong.To distinguish the latter from the former, a direction of positive to negative is termed 'conventional flow', whereas a direction of negative to positive is termed 'electron flow'. Modern textbooks use either 'conventional flow' or 'electron flow', depending on the author's preference.
When it comes to getting things done, it helps to have a positive rather than a negative attitude. Sometimes people refer to this as getting more with sugar than with spice.
neutral. Positive and negative charges cancel each others.
When an objects gets negative charge it attracts positive charged objects, repel negative charged objects and even attracts neutral copper rod. Neutral copper rod is attracted towards both both negative and positive charged objects due to the availability of mobile electrons in the copper rod.
It is both For the president it is negative for the interviewer it is positive. Being "put on the spot" means being forced to answer questions that you would rather avoid answering.
Sanctions are penalties that people are dealt if they disobey the law. Positive sanctions can refer to something positive that will happen, rather than a negative penalty.
Negative reinforcement refers to the removal of a negative stimulus to increase the likelihood of a desired behavior. In this context, "negative" does not refer to something bad but rather the removal of something unwanted. So, negative reinforcement can be positive because it encourages the individual to engage in a behavior that leads to the removal of an aversive stimulus, ultimately resulting in a positive outcome.
Most persons consider "asset" a positive rather than a negative word. This is always true in accounting, in which the negative of an asset is a liability or debt.
A positive impact of airplanes is that we can ship goods from place to place, rather than using a boat or a truck. A negative impact on airplanes is the pollutants from their engines and the amount of wind they use.
It is always good to be communicate in the positive rather than the negative; whether it is in teaching or in every day life. It builds people's self confidence rather than tears it down.
In mathematics, three negatives do not make a negative; rather, two negatives make a positive. When you multiply or add numbers, the rules of arithmetic dictate that a negative multiplied by a negative results in a positive. Introducing a third negative flips the sign back to negative. Therefore, the expression of three negatives leads to the conclusion that it is equivalent to a negative outcome.
In uses such as "balancing act" it could be considered a noun adjunct rather than an adjective.
It is trying to win the advantage by referring to negative aspects of an oppenent or of a policy rather than emphasizing one's own positive attributes or preferred policy.
Euphoric recall is when an addict remembers all the positive experiences associated with their addiction rather than the negative experiences.
The tone of "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost is generally seen as reflective and contemplative rather than overtly positive or negative. The speaker seems to be pondering the choices made in life rather than expressing strong emotions one way or the other.
Euphoric recall is when an addict remembers all the positive experiences associated with their addiction rather than the negative experiences.
