Dec 22, 2016 at 3:03 comment added wbeaty The classic example is any charged capacitor. Capacitors can have a voltage across their terminals, but this happens at zero current. (Avoid thinking that currents have a voltage. That's a classic newbie error.) Voltage is actually it's own thing. Voltage the "Electro" part of Electro-magnetism. Think like this: inductors "store current" like a flywheel, while capacitors "store voltage" like a compressed spring. Or this: EM energy-flows can only exist if both voltage and current are present.

Nov 21, 2016 at 21:29 comment added Criticizing Israel not allowed Zero current does not mean zero voltage. Consider a circuit with a 9V battery, switch and resistor in series. When the switch is open (not connected) there is zero current through the switch and there is 9V voltage across the switch.
