 Oftentimes in circuits, we are less concerned with how the electrons in circuits are produced and are more concerned with what happens to the charges after they are produced. This means we will generally simplify our model of the battery to what we call a "mechanical model" of the battery. In this model, the battery consists of two charged plates, one that is positive and one that is negative, with a conveyor belt that pulls the electrons from the positive plate to the negative plate. In this model, //the conveyor belt represents the chemical reaction in the battery that maintains the separation of charge//.  Oftentimes in circuits, we are less concerned with how the electrons in circuits are produced and are more concerned with what happens to the charges after they are produced.
