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)

That is a question worth thinking about

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

>what happens to an electric circuit when all the electrons in the battery/wires/etc. are suddenly gone?
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.

>>9055869
You would have a static charge.

Analog would be a charged capacitor.
