My meaning was more along of the lines of putting a wire between the terminals, not just through space. If one terminal is charged + and one terminal is charged -, why is there no flow of electrons? A similar analogy would be if you chopped a battery in half, laterally, so you end up with two...

Hi. So we all know that electricity requires a complete circuit in order for electrons to flow in a wire. It's my understanding that this is due to the charge differential at the positive and negative, creating an electric potential. So, given that (or correct me if my understanding is wrong)...
