How do you know if a particle is positive or negative in a magnetic field?
If you hold out your thumb as if you’re hitch-hiking, your thumb will point in the direction of the force. At least, your thumb points in the direction of the force as long as the charge is positive. A negative charge introduces a negative sign, which flips the direction of the force.
What is the positive and negative sides of a magnet?

What happens if you bond a sub panel?
When we do bond them together we create two paths back to the connection at the service equipment. The amount of current that will flow on the two paths will be proportional to the resistance of those paths.
Should I bond a sub-panel?
The neutral and ground MUST NOT be bonded at a sub-panel. They should only be bonded at the main service panel. If you bond them anywhere other than the main service, the neutral return current now has multiple paths, including though your ground wire. The ground bar should be bonded to the case.
Does a sub-panel need a main breaker?
Subpanel main breaker A main breaker on a sub-panel is not necessary because this is in the same building (if you are in a different building then NEC 225.31, 225.32, 225.33 apply). That said, having a main breaker in the sub-panel is also acceptable.

How many ground rods do I need for a detached garage?
