Every book on electrical theory that I've read states the current flows from negative to positive in a dc circuit.
Why then are the battery terminals in a car hooked up with black (neg) to the chassis/ground and the red (pos) to the loads. In automotive the current, as I understand it, leaves the positive terminal, flows through the loads, to the chassis, then back to the positive terminal.
Isn't this backwards from how were taught?
