Document Summary
Okay, say we have a simple circuit like so. Well then they"re kinda fucked becuase they can"t jump over and the circuit is incomplete. Current still flows in this circuit for a limited amount of time though. The current does not flow from the electrons at the red star. Well enough electrons collect there that the actually start to accumulate and create a charge on the conductor. With time, they"re chargning the conductor and turning it from a neutral parallel plate where. I(t) = i(0), to a new thing, a negative terminal. Well, if there is a collection of negative charge on one side of the gap (a negative terminal), the electrons. Well, if there is a collection of negative charge on one side of the gap (a negative terminal), the electrons on the other side of the gap will be freaking out.
