Ones side sends electrons one side receives.

With arc lamps the anode is about 12x as massive to deal with the pounding.



I suspect a similar situation is going on. (I love how the ± are cut into the contacts)

Anyhow it's definitely a fact of life/physics and the field winding doesn't give a crap which way the current flows. It'll make N-S instead of S-N at the field winding but when it's spinning it doesn't matter at all.
