Is there still current in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is off?

Assuming there is not a "power outage" to all houses in the area (otherwise known as a "power cut") then the answer is:
Yes, the potential (voltage) is still in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is only turned off at its own main switch inside the main breaker box.

What is the difference of static electricity and current electricity?
Current electricity requires an energy source, it would not flow unless there is a complete circuit to flow through continuously and it only flow through conductors where as static electricity does not require all of these. Static electricity can have extra protons or electrons and there foe can be either positively or negatively charged. Current electricity is simply the flow of electrons(negative).
Does a light switch produce AC or DC electric currents?
Alternating (AC) and direct (DC) currents are different forms of electricity. It is universal nowadays to have AC in all houses because the electricity grid distribution system is all AC. DC was used by Edison and continued for some years but is now discontinued. It is still used in vehicles where 12 V DC is the normal system. A light switch simply interrupts the current or makes the circuit as required, and both AC and DC need to have switches.
Why Is The Symbol Of Current you And Not C?
In an electric circuit C is used to denote the capacitance, so current is represented by I. <<>> The original French term for amperage or current was "intensité de courant". It translated into English as "intensity of current". So it was the letter I from the word "intensity" that the early experimenters in electricity used and now today it still represents the symbol for current.
Why do you pay for electricity if all the electricity that flows into your house flows out again?
We pay for electricity even if all the electricity that flows into our houses flows out again because electricity is not a recyclable form of energy not like water which does not stop its cycle in nature. Besides that, we have limited sources of electricity nowadays though, people are still continuing to look for alternative sources. That is also why we are paying much for our electricity.
If a light bulb is burned out and the switch is on are you still using electricity?
A standard filament bulb works on the principle that it gets hot and glows when a current is passed through it. If the filament has burned out (blown) it is open circuit and no current can flow. Therefore you are not using any electricity even if the switch is still on It may still use power if it is a lighted switch. Find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
How can solar panels send electricity to different parts of the house?
Solar panels generate electricity, direct current. This is normal electricity. It can travel along wires into batteries in your house, or it can go through an inverter and become alternating current which can be sold back to electricity companies. Whichever kind, it still travels along wires, just the same as bought electricity.

Why wood does not conduct electricity?
Wood can conduct electricity if the wood is still green or wet, otherwise the wood has too much resistance (resistance is the opposition to current flow).
What are the problems with your current solar panels?
i think its when the sun is not showing and the electricity stops but it has a battery so it can still run during the night

What is difference between overhead valve engine and overhead cam engine?
Mainly, the difference is that in an overhead cam engine, the camshaft is mounted on the head of the engine, and the valves are still overhead, in an overhead valve engine (sometimes called a "pushrod motor"), the camshaft is in the crankcase.

Who is responsible for electricity as you know today?
Thomas Jefferson figured out how to harness electricity and make it useful but his system was "direct" current. Meanwhile a fellow named Westinghouse was developng a safer and more reliable method of delivering electricity. He gave us "alternating" current which is what we use in almost all applications like our homes, traffic lights and so on. Direct current is still used in cars but because it has limited adaptability on a larger scale it is not used very often.
Who pays the taxes on a house that is left to a beneficiary if the will is still ongoing?
