A circuit with a voltage source and no resistance cannot be at steady-state, but has increasing current. The increase cannot continue indefinitely. Eventually the circuit will fail in some manner. (As an example, superconductors have maximum current amounts, above that limit they stop being superconductors, resistance returns and something heats up dramatically from the high current) | |
