The ideal battery will attempt to make enough current flow in order to realize the battery's specified potential difference. With no resistance, it cannot accomplish this so the current heads off to infinity.Faiq said:

This sounds familiargneill said:
That is an unrealizable circuit, as gneill said earlier.Faiq said:
Ideal battery tries to maintain a constant potential difference across its terminals. Ideal wires have zero resistance, hence, they try to have 0 potential difference across them. These two opposite behaviors make the circuit unrealizable. One good example gneill gave is of an open circuited current source. Similarly, you can't connect two ideal voltage sources in parallel and two ideal current sources in series. These are unrealizable circuits.Faiq said:
The situation in your question is invalid.Faiq said:
Yes, current will flow in a circuit with only a battery. The battery creates an electrical potential difference, also known as voltage, which causes a flow of charged particles, known as current, through the circuit.
The amount of current flow in a circuit with only a battery is determined by the voltage of the battery and the resistance of the circuit. The higher the voltage and the lower the resistance, the greater the current flow will be.
Yes, a circuit with only a battery can have a current flow of zero if the circuit is open or if the resistance is extremely high. In these cases, there is no complete path for the current to flow through, so it will remain at zero.
The placement of the battery does not affect the current flow in a circuit, as long as it is connected in the correct orientation. The battery will create the same potential difference and current flow regardless of its location in the circuit.
No, current will not flow in a circuit with only a dead battery. A dead battery no longer has the ability to create an electrical potential difference, so there will be no current flow in the circuit.
