Let's consider these situations : 1) You turn it on at six o'clock am and leave it turned on till six 0'clock pm . 2) You turn it on at six o'clock am and it keeps it on during 2 hours. Then you turn it off during 2 hours. And so sucessively until six o'clock pm.

Obviously the computer wastes more energy on the first case. But all depend on the variations of the time you keep it continuosly on, and the variations on the range you keep it off and on. In other words, it may spend more energy by turning it on and off several times, and may spend less energy by keeping it on continuosly. It's a matter of a simple math operation.

Does leaving an extension lead in waste electricity?

Leaving an extension lead plugged in can waste electricity if it has devices connected that are in standby mode, as they may continue to draw power.

How much energy do you waste leaving on lights?

Leaving lights on when they are not needed can waste significant amounts of electricity over time, depending on the type and wattage of the bulbs. One incandescent bulb left on for 1 hour can waste about 0.04 kWh, while a LED bulb might only waste 0.01 kWh in the same time frame. Multiple lights left on for extended periods can add up to higher energy costs.
