I'm reading a tutorial about the basics of circuits and I don't understand this concept. In the three last circuit diagrams in the link located below, there is a break in each of the circuits. The ends of the breaking points are labeled + and -, but how can that be?
My thoughts:
If there is no electrical flow if there is a break in the circuit, shouldn't that mean that the wires should all be neutral?
Or, seeing as only electrons are flowing through the circuit, shouldn't both ends of the break be negative?
