Which Side of a Battery is Positive? A cell or battery is drawn with a long line and a shorter line. The long line is the positive side (plus is longer). The short line is the negative side (minus is shorter).
Batteries have three parts, an anode (-), a cathode (+), and the electrolyte. The cathode and anode (the positive and negative sides at either end of a traditional battery) are hooked up to an electrical circuit. The chemical reactions in the battery causes a build up of electrons at the anode. This results in an electrical difference between the anode and the cathode. You can think of this difference as an unstable build-up of the electrons. The electrons wants to rearrange themselves to get rid of this difference.
