Even without current flow there can be voltage in a circuit?
Voltage is potential energy and can exist in a open circuit.
What does not provide a voltage difference in a circuit?
Wires do not provide a voltage differenceAnswerAs 'voltage' is synonymous with 'potential difference', you appear to be asking "What does not provide a potential difference difference in a circuit?", which does not make any sense!

What causes electric flow in a circuit?
Potential difference, voltage.
The measure of the potential energy available in a complete circuit is what?
Voltage
What is the measure of potential energy available in a complete circuit?
Voltage
Why does voltage matter?
Voltage is a measure of electrical potential. I understood voltage best when my first semester Electronics professor told the class that voltage is to an electrical circuit as water pressure is to a plumbing "circuit".
How does a voltage divider work?
The essential circuit of a voltage divider, also called a potential divider, is:
What is another word that could mean energy ready to be released?
potential. e.g. voltage potential means a circuit capable of supplying voltage.
What happens in a circuit to voltage when current flows?
A: There is a relationship one needs the other both can coexists but not each alone.
What is the potential difference between 2 points in a circuit called?
Voltage drop
What does the conductor in a circuit do?
A conductor carries the voltage potential from the source to the load, i.e. the wires from a circuit breaker to a light.
