What are the differences between a classic violin and an electric violin?

A normal, or classic violin relies on the rosin on the bow to vibrate the cords, and the basebar to create sound. The "voice" of a violin depends on its shape, the wood it is made from, the graduation (the thickness profile) of both the top and back, and the varnish which coats its outside surface. The varnish and especially the wood continue to improve with age, making the fixed supply of old violins much sought-after.
An electric violin does not rely on the body of the violin, but simply the cords being pulled by the bow (I am not sure if an electric violin uses rosin) and, because it makes hardly any sound on its own, it must be plugged up to an amplifier to make sound.

Can electric violin produce sound without an amp?
It depends on your electric violin. A hollow-body violin with an acoustic pickup (basically, a traditional violin with a microphone built into it) will make sound just like a standard acoustic violin. A solid-body electric violin will make sound without an amp...but unless you're the violin player, you won't hear it.
