True. Physical reality also is the elementary particles that make
up each atom in the wire. It is that level that I am observing.

Absolutely. A magnetic field whose density depends on the electrons
velocity and on the number of electrons involved.

There is a defined value, that has however never been
measured.

Look for impedence of vacuum.

Rated at 376.7303137 Ohms

obtainable from sqrt(mu0/eps0)
or from

(2 alpha h)/e^2

alpha is fine structure constant
h is Planck's constant
e is unit charge

I personally think that vacuum offers no
resistance to the passage of electrons nor
of any other particles.
