Hey guys,
I have a question regarding a qualitative property of electricity.
I understand that if a certain conductor, for example a battery cathode, has x voltage with respect to ground, and another conductor, for example a piece of copper wire, is connected to it (soldered, physically connected, etc.), then that wire has the same voltage as the battery cathode.
What is happening at the molecular level? Are the electrons from the cathode and the wire being shared?
