lets say i have a simple battery circuit
1) why is the static electric field ,produced by the potential difference of battery, parallel to the wires? shouldn't it be pointing radially outwards? (for +ve)
2) is the electric field inside the wire or outside the wire? if its outside, then how does it drive the current?
thanks!
