RE: THE ART OF BEING NEGATIVE - "Positive" and "Negative" Dont Mean What You Think
actually positive and negative does not mean good or bad always, for example in medicine test is positive when someone has cancer and that's bad while negative would be more convenient. and second in electricity negative is not receiver it's transmitter. because in the wire there are movement of free electrons (electrons are negative), and they move from negative to positive. in science direction of electricity is from positive to negative but because when they discovered electricity they did not know what was moving there, so no one bothered to change that.
than how does that comes
in physics direction of electricity is related to movement of positive charge. and because positive charge does not exists (only exists negative charge which is electron and positive charge is related to absence of negative charge aka electrons) so when electrons go from negative pole to positive, positive charge goes oppositely. thats why physicians say that electricity moves from positive to negative while electrons move from negative to positive. i am sorry if i was not clear enough. but you can watch this video
