Work done by battery in moving charge $Q$ in circuit

why work done by a battery in circuit is potential diffrence across plates times charge flown through body. W=Qε(ε is emf of battery) although there are heat and other loses ? and another that my ...

Why doesn't potential difference across circuit increase when length of wire increases?

Since $V=Ed$, why doesn't the electric potential increase when length of the wire increases. $d$ increases right? Is it because the battery only pushes the electrons from one terminal to the other and ...
