Is it possible to have voltage without current? Suppose you somehow manage to remove all free (or free-able) electrons from a system, would that make it a perfect resistor?
i.e. what happens to an electric circuit when all the electrons in the battery/wires/etc. are suddenly gone? (and it exists in a vacuum, of course)
particles
That is a question worth thinking about

We call those power outlets. You probably have some in your house.

You have the most positvely charged body in the world. And it wouldn't work.

protons are still a thing
protons have non-zero charge, like electrons
where you have charge, you have an electric field
whereever you have an electric field, you have a voltage

So, given no other way out, will increasing voltage eventually cause a direct transport of charge between the two ends, no matter how far apart and how inert the space/mass between them?

yes, that's where lightning comes from

Air has finite resistance so a power outlet has a current.

You'd need to remove all protons too. Having any charged particles will allow current to flow.

Really low quality bait. Try again.

A hole doesn't really exist with a total absence of electrons.
Which isn't to say that a hole "exists" when there are electrons.
A battery outside of a circuit will have no current but still have voltage. Charged capacitors will have a voltage with no current, even in a circuit.
>>9055869
It depends on where you're basing the voltage difference on.

You would have a static charge.
Analog would be a charged capacitor.
