I've heard about this over and over again, but i don't how this(negative pd) can be achieved in an electric circuit.
How can negative potential difference be achieved in an electric circuit?

SUMMARY
Negative potential difference (pd) in an electric circuit is achieved by measuring voltages relative to a higher reference point. When a battery's negative terminal is connected to ground potential, measurements taken from various points in the circuit will yield positive voltages. Conversely, if the measuring device's black wire is connected to the battery's positive terminal, all voltage readings will appear negative, as they are referenced against a higher potential. This concept is crucial for understanding voltage measurements in circuits.
