When I refer to the "produced" electron, I meant the free charge that is
created (there I go again!) in the chemical reaction.
Clearly, the chemical constituents are neutral to begin with and that
there is a monstrously large positive charge awaiting the electrons return.
The chemical reaction that produced this situation, created a potential
difference (i.e.., the products of the reaction are at a lower potential
than the reactants).
If each battery gives its free electron a certain voltage, then, if this
electron enters another battery, it is given another kick as it
participates in the next batteries chemical reaction, and so on. My
question then is why does a voltmeter measure the extreme voltage, as
though all the electrons traveled through all three batteries, as opposed
to an average?
