Circuit Problem -- With only a battery in the circuit, will current flow?

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Will current flow in an ideal circuit given that there is only an ideal battery in the circuit?

2. Relevant equations
V=IR

3. The attempt at a solution
Since there is no resistance through out the circuit no potential is dropped so no current flows

 

Yes

 

Thanks

 

No current is flowing right? I was thinking the same but one guy said otherwise and gave no logic behind his reasoning

 

And the battery doesnt even have internal resistance

 

No I am just asking why would current even flow when there's no potential difference across the circuit

 

For current to flow from one point to another point, there should be some potential difference but the whole circuit is on the same potential. Why would current flow then?

 

The ideal battery's positive terminal is connected to its negative terminal by an ideal wire

 

I know but I am just curios to why would current even flow when there's no potential difference across the circuit

 

Oh which means that my question is invalid?
