The OFF position on the light switch interrupts the flow of electricity to the light bulb. If the switch is ON, there is always electricity at the light socket, even when the light bulb is removed. if the lamp is still pluged in electricity is still flowing through the lamp even if it is off or on
Yes, a radio will still use a small amount of electricity when plugged in but not turned on. This is because even in standby mode, the radio is still drawing power to maintain the clock or other settings.
Electrical use in the past is the same as it it used today. Not as many appliances then as now but electricity still made everyday tasks easier.
One of the best ways to lower your average electricity bill per month is to run all of your electronics through power strips that you can turn off at night. If the electronics are still plugged into the wall on their own, they will be using electricity all night long -- even if you have turned them off. Power strips have an on/off button that can cut off the charge, and they are not susceptible to this same problem. If a power strip is turned off, there is no current. Doing this can cut your electricity bill by a fifth.
Yes, a lamp consumes a small amount of electricity even when turned off because it is still connected to a power source and has standby power consumption.
No, a lamp will not work if you disconnect it from the wall outlet. The outlet provides the electrical power necessary for the lamp to function, so without that connection, the lamp has no source of electricity. Even if the lamp is plugged in but turned off, it still requires a connection to the outlet to operate.

Yes, you are still using electricity.
Yes, night lights that are plugged in but not turned on still use a small amount of electricity, referred to as standby power. It is often recommended to unplug devices when not in use to save energy and reduce electricity consumption.
Yes. Not as much but if it is plugged in it will still use some power.
You should unplug toasters when they aren't in use for 2 main reasons. They can still be using electricity when plugged in, so it saves electricity to unplug it. Also, plugged in some toasters are a fire hazard.
When you use standby mode on any electric appliances, the "phantom" steals the electricity because standby mode still uses electricity.

IF IT IS STILL CONNECTED IN THE SWITCH BOARD IT WILL. JUST LIKE A CHARGER DOES.
Turn off your TV when you leave the room as well as the lights. If you're going to do something "quickly" it usually won't be as quick as you expect so turn off any appliances that are on. If possible, unplug some appliances because even if they're off, they still train little to nothing of electricity if they're plugged in. Get energy efficient light-bulbs and products. Also use as little appliances as possible, especially if you're using more than one. It's either this or that. :D
It is fine. Power is still running through your computer and your iPod is still plugged in, so it wil continue to receive the electricity.
