Fortunately, whether it's electron flow or hole flow, electrical laws (Ohm's, Coulomb's, Kirchoff's, Oersted's, etc.) - even Archie's Law (electrical conductivity of certain types of rocks) - hold, regardless of ground polarity (and even in ungrounded - e.g., shipboard - electrical systems).

Perhaps you hadn't noticed the grounding strap on rocks...

Zaaaaappppp!!!!
