A: NO but the potential can exist until a path is found
Yes, a circuit can work without a switch if it is designed to be always on or if the components are connected directly without the need for a switch to control the flow of current. However, in many applications, a switch is necessary to control when the circuit is on or off.
The energy source which Is dug out of the ground is called coal and is can be burnt to make electricity

No, an electric device will not work if the power cord is not attached as it needs the electricity provided by the cord to function. Without the power cord, there is no source of electricity to power the device.
Without being plugged in the machines will not work. The power comes along the wire into the machine.
Yes, a GFCI can work properly without a ground wire because it is designed to provide protection against electrical shocks by monitoring the flow of electricity and tripping the circuit if a fault is detected, even without a ground wire.
no you cannot turn it on without electricity or some type of battery but, no it wont work
NO!
They would work without electricity if they're battery operated. Like the example here http://www.startechoutlet.com/
Lightning can occur without clouds when there is a discharge of electricity between the ground and the atmosphere, often due to the buildup of static electricity in the air. This phenomenon is known as "ground-to-cloud" lightning.
if it is a diesel
Yes, the ground is a conductor of electricity.
There had been research work to use high power transmitters for transmission of electricity without wires but conclusions were not confirmed
That you were able to ask this question. Without electricity, we wouldn't have many of the things we have now. A LOT of stuff use electricity to work.
Sort of. You can have a short to ground, which is basically electricity leaking from a charged conductor to a ground. It's dissipating without doing any useful work, so it's leaking, even if it's not called that. It can also be dangerous, should you come into contact with the wire that is shorting, and it decides to ground via you.An electrician can help you with the problem, and can figure out if it's happening.
You only get an electric shock if you are touching both the ground and the electric wire, (or close enough to both for the electricity to arc) Birds sat on electricity cables are not close enough to the ground for the electricity to arc, therefore they do not get shocked.
If the batteries are charged it will work without electricity.
