Hello, I'm new to this material so please have patience.
From what I understand, the anode of a battery is in a surplus of electrons.
Since the cathode is in a deficiency, the electrons in the anode are attracted to the cathode (simplified a lot)
Why do the electrons in the anode insist on going to the cathode in the first place? What would happen if I place a positively charged material(for instance, the cathode of another battery!) onto the anode of a battery, would the anode still unload the electrons?
If so, how do connected batteries work? (connected in serial)
Thank you for your time
