So the first answer is: Yes, there can be voltage without current. Current without voltage Current is the flow of charged particles. Particles are suscpetible to a number of forces of which electromagnetism is just one.
A capacitor does indeed block direct current (DC). However, appreciable alternating current (AC) can flow when the period of oscillation is less than the charging time of the capacitor. Literally, we can see the sun shine, because a capacitor gap in a circuit isn't distinguishable from continuous current through a circuit.
A capacitor does indeed block direct current (DC). However, appreciable alternating current (AC) can flow when the period of oscillation is less than the charging time of the capacitor.
A capacitor allows brief pulses of AC current to flow through it while blocking steady-state DC current. This is because a capacitor can be charged initially during the transitory build up of the charge on the capacitor when closing the circuit.
While a capacitor has an insulator or dielectric between its plates, current can still flow in a circuit with a capacitor. This is because the current flows through the capacitor in a specific way: it charges and discharges, rather than flowing continuously like in a simple circuit. This behavior is described by the capacitor's impedance, which is not purely resistive.
There can be currents flowing into and out of this hunk while the voltage is still zero as it is one point, not two points. To continue on with ohm's law use it in the form V = I * R, and when R is zero then V is also zero even if there is a current. The problem you have created is to make up a 'voltage' for the common point.
What is the best way to check capacitors on a board without
Capacitors don''t give voltage output by themselves, but they can exhibit excessive leakage current, fail to properly reduce voltage ripple from whatever''s feeding them due to reduced capacitance, or become unusually hot due to increased ESR. There''s other less common failure modes too, those are just the most common issues with electrolytics that don''t necessarily …

Why I can´t charge a capacitor without a resistor, and what
With 0 resistance you would have infinite current into and out of the capacitor which would break the universe, hence why multisim won''t let you do it. In real life there will always be some resistance, even if you "short circuit" a capacitor. This will create a very large current, but it wouldn''t be infinite.

Why is a resistor needed when using a capacitor? : r ...
Every capacitor has its ESR which can be modelled as a resistor in series with ideal capacitor. What Your sim probably does is it treats every capacitor as an ideal one without ESR what in turn breaks its internal calculations with infinite current if there is no resistor in series with it.

How To Charge Capacitor Without Resistor: A Complete Guide
Process Of Charging A Capacitor Without A Resistor. To charge a capacitor without a resistor, you will have to use the concept of voltage division. This means that you should connect the resistor and capacitor in parallel to be affected by the same voltage. If done correctly, you can charge a capacitor without a resistor.

How to Charge Capacitor Without Resistor?
AC power supplies can be used to charge capacitors without using resistors.

Why is there a maximum voltage rating on capacitors?
The maximum voltage rating of a capacitor, also known as its breakdown voltage, is the maximum voltage that can be applied across the capacitor without causing the dielectric to break down. Dielectric breakdown is a process where the electric field strength exceeds the dielectric material''s ability to resist electrical conduction.
