It leaks out onto the floor.

Never. This allows your computer to charge its battery in case you want to unplug it for more mobility. It doesn't matter if your computer is one or off because it will still recharge the same way as usual.

Generally, appliances use electricity.  Some small amount of it is transformed to movement or light.  The majority of electricity is transformed to hear, which is dissipated to the environment.  Waste hear generated in this manner cannot effectively be captured and used for anything useful.  However, the waste heat generated by the refrigerator, light bulbs, and ovens will reduce the heat needed to keep your house warm in the winter.

Your question is not clear at all, but let me guess a little.\n\nAre you asking for the function of each component in the circuit ???\n\nIf so, light bulb will be the load.\nConductor is the mean for the current to flow.\nswitch, is for closing or opening the circuit\ninsulation, to keep conductors to short the circuit.\nmeter, to measure the voltage or current or power being used at some time.\nbattery is the power source to get the circuit to work.\n\nNow I guess I earn 10 points for best and only answer.

We in the USA never unplug things.\nWe have a great many things in every room of our houses and they always stay plugged in all the time.\n\nI can look right now at three lamps plugged in, about 20 pieces of computer equipment all plugged in, a huge TV, a DVD player, A VCR, and an electric piano, that all stay plugged in all the time.

surprisingly enough, the monitor actually draws more electricity than a running computer, so if a computer tower and a monitor were the only things on your electricity bill, and you started turning off your monitor more often (such as when you fall asleep to your music...i do the same =P), you'd see a dramatic drop on your next electricity bill =)

You don't "use" it, it's passive. If your computer is plugged into a power strip with a surge protector or has one of its own on its power cable, it's already active. Even so, it's a good idea to unplug your computer during severe storms.

Look in the mirror! Theres the body, the soul and the spirit. It's like a TV.  When  the TV is unplugged, it's just an object (body), doesn't do anything. The electrical plug is the what makes it work (spirit). Plug it in and now you got color, picture, movement. (soul). The soul dies, the body turns to dust, the spirit goes to heaven. The soul is resurrected, joins the spirit, and gets a new body.

Probably you would not notice much of a difference. In fact if you used electric heat you wouln't notice any difference at all (at least in the winter). The reason is the amount of electricity an appliance uses is pretty much proportional to the amount of heat it generates. If you really want to save electricity get rid of your oven, refrigerator, toaster, hair dryer, basically any appliance which generates a lot of heat.

potential difference\ndue to which the crrent flows  through the ends of the battery due 2 which appliances work on cell or a battery

I recently read about new power strips that cut even standby power to equipment that are plugged into them. For example, your computer and printer still draw a current even if shut off. this tricle can add up over the course of a year. These power strips cut off that tricle until the moment the unit is roused from standby.\n\nThis was in a pretty good article in this month's Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine.

Depends on problem, easy fix is if the outlet itself is shot.  See link:

In an electric torch the bulb glows when we switch on the circuit and bulb glows off when we switch off the circuit. \n\nGlowing of bulb is the indication that the current is in the circuit. When there is no current the bulb will not glow.\n\nWe use the cells (Battery) as long as it has life.  The cells have electric energy and they are used when we want. When it is not used, (switch off position) there is no current in the wire connecting the bulb.\n\nThe differences between this and the power supply through lines to the buildings are not much.\n\nIn the latter, instead of direct current, alternating current is used; instead of small power huge power is used.\n\nTherefore when the switch is in off position there is no current in the lines, but they are full of energy and at any time they can produce current when the switch is on.\n\nAn analogy with water tank may be useful.  Water is stored in the tank. Whenever we open the pipe water flows in the whole pipe connecting the tank and the end pipe, when we close the pipe no water flows but water pressure will be there.

Then unplug it.  Sheesh.

Its better leave your computer ON.\nWhen you turn ON your computer, the PC uses the double of power. If you leave it ON, you may use half of power, but try to leave it ON with some Energy Rescue Resources, like "Suspend System".\n\nJuan. Bs As, Argentina.

NO.  When the lightbulb burns out the filament breaks.  The filament is what the electricity flows through to create light.  When this breaks there is no path for current to flow, therfore no electricity is used.

Yes it is! i had this happen to me while living in an older house. Contact your electric company asap. I didn't and was liable for the extra on the bill. They told me that whenever you notice a problem, report it soon.  You'll save money but be out of what you've already used.
