Your term "streamline" is not obvious in meaning.So if there is no plug to further streamline the energy what happens to it?
And if there is a plug to do that, what happens to the energy when the device is off?
A properly designed circuit only uses the amount of power - not energy - that it needs. A 100 watt lamp only needs about 800 ma to develop that power output. The supply branch its breaker is on may be rated for 20 amps, but the lamp only uses the power it is designed for.When in standby mode what happens to that energy since all of it is not used?
This is why I leave things plugged in. Otherwise, the electricity pours out of the plug and makes a mess everywhere. They call them plugs for a reason.My car is sitting in my driveway and its huge heavy battery has plenty of electricity that is not "hitting" anything.
I have many unused electricity outlets in my home and their electricity is not "hitting" anything.
When electricity is not used then it isn't spraying all over the place and it isn't doing anything.
Hee, hee. What do you call the mess made by liquid electricity that poured from all the outlets?This is why I leave things plugged in. Otherwise, the electricity pours out of the plug and makes a mess everywhere. They call them plugs for a reason.
Depends on where the energy comes from. If you have a coal fired station providing power, then it's typically dirty, coal like substance, but if you have a majority of solar power them it leaks sunbeams everywhere.Hee, hee.

lmaof !!! :dthis is why i leave things plugged in. Otherwise, the electricity pours out of the plug and makes a mess everywhere. They call them plugs for a reason.
Some of my electricity comes from Nuclear reactors so I will be fried.
Everybody knows that it is just the free background zero point energy all around us that would power everything for eternity if smart people only told us the secret about connecting to it.Fun fact: Measure AC mains with your multimeter at 230V or 115V. Then turn the switch off. For most switches, you measure about 3V-6V. Explain.
(I know why, I'm just curious what others think.)
I bought many alkaline AA cells on boxing day so I am prepared for an electricity blackout. I also have many charged Ni-MH AA cells.I'm going to turn off Canada's power just so that AudioGuru can test his interruptible supplies for a few days.
Just guessing here... Is there some residual capacitance still present???Fun fact: Measure AC mains with your multimeter at 230V or 115V. Then turn the switch off. For most switches, you measure about 3V-6V. Explain.

Probably not. I'm fairly sure it is due to leakage current across the switch. The multimeter is approximately 10 Mohm impedence and to get 6V from 230V requires a 383 Mohm off-state resistance; most are within 100 Mohm. Given the gap between on and off is usually only a few mm this resistance seems feasible. Though capacitance is also a possible cause - the switch could act as a capacitor as part of a capacitive divide involving the meter's capacitance.Just guessing here...
