Describe how the constant electric potential from the battery drives the charges in the conducting wire in your own words.
charges move from higher potential to lower potential. the battery gives a constant potential, so charges go from its positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery.
for the sake of your understanding,
a constant electric potential and the current system is analogous water stored in a tank at a certain height. this height is corresponding to constant potential, water contained is charge in the battery. if we connect a pipe to ground .water will begin to flow, similarly, if we connect conducting wire across the battery, then charge begins to flow that is we called current(rate of flow of charge is current).
