How about this. A battery has a net positive end and a net negative end. When you connect a wire in between them, The electrons in the wire are attracted to the positive end and repelled from the negative end. But as they leave the wire and onto the positive battery terminal, they leave behind the positive protons in the copper. This attracts more electrons from the negative battery terminal. This continues until the battery runs out of energy, which comes from the chemical reaction that does work to separate the charge.
Is that a correct explanation?
