Hello!
I am confused about this circuit representation. I am not familiar with how it works. I was under the impression charge cannot flow across a capacitor (a wire is required). So how does charge move in the following circuit? Not across the battery - since the charge is supposed to be separated, right? Again, as for a capacitor, a wire is required to provide a path for the electrons (or whatever) to move.
There is nowhere for it to flow through. Are the points labeled in and out connected somehow?

Thanks in advance.
