Connector wire

At zinc electrode (anode)

zinc release electron to form ion.

Zn (p)
Zn2+(aq) + 2ethe released electrons reassemble at zinc plat.

At copper electrode (cathode)

the released electrons by zinc flows to coppers

electrode by connector wire.
H+ ions (from water) & Zn2+ moves to coppers
electrode.
H+ ions discharge because of its position is lower in
electrochemical series.
2H+(aq) + 2eH2(g)

In connector wire

electron flows from negative terminal

positive
terminal continuously
electrical current.
electrons flows
voltmeter indicator removes.
