If they have been connected to their feed wires correctly, socket outlets should not allow any electric current to pass through when they have been switched off.
<><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What else can I help you with?
Do electrical devices drain power when plugged in but not switched on?
Yes, electrical devices can still draw a small amount of power even when they are not switched on. This is known as standby power or phantom power consumption, and it occurs because the device is still connected to the power source even when not in use. To minimize this energy loss, you can unplug the device or use power strips with on/off switches.
What would cause a ceiling fan's lights and fan to stop working while the small LED on the wall switch still lights when it is switched on?
That led is only showing that there is power to the switch and/or the light and fan fixture. You would have to check the power at the fixture to determine if it is actually in the switched feed or the fan/light assembly.
Is electricity wasted if we switch on a socket and do not use it?
Yes, electricity is wasted if a socket is switched on but not being used because the electricity is still flowing through the circuit even though no device is drawing power.
If you leave a plug socket switched on is it using electricity even if the tv is not swithed on?
yes it does use energy. My straightener uses energy when it is plugged in, but not on. What i have learned to do is unplug all the things that don't need to be plugged in. If u think that something needs to stay plugged in then leave it in but if it doesn't my best advise is to unplug it!
What kind of circuit provides a path for current to wall sockets and appliances in a home?
A parallel circuit provides a path for current to flow to wall sockets and appliances in a home. In a parallel circuit, each device is connected in a separate branch from the power source, allowing current to flow independently to each device. This setup allows appliances to operate independently and provides a safety feature where one device can still operate if another fails.
Do electrical devices drain power when plugged in but not switched on?

Do people still play Battlefield 4 on PS3 or have they switched to the PS4?

Can you still spend lire in Italy?

Unused fridge still work if switched off 7 years?
Yes

Yes, electricity is wasted if a socket is switched on but not being used because the electricity is still flowing through the circuit even though no device is drawing power.
Is b5 still together?

What can be the problem on a 1997 ford expedition that the brake light are not working after putting in new bulbs new fuses and a new switch and the brake lights still dont want to work.....?
Check for power at brake light switch Check for power and ground at the brake light sockets open wire?
Does copper conduct when it becomes bent?
Yes it still can.
Can plants still conduct photosynthesis without light?
No
Did salt with water conduct electricity?
Yes still it does
Why does having the microwaves switched on and off help the food defrost?
The defrost mode of a microwave oven turns the microwaves on and off repeatedly to reduce the power. Reducing the power reduce the chance of one part of the food becoming hot while other parts are still frozen.
