most modern televisions are drawing electricity all of the time, so that the device can sense when a remote is used to issue a command to turn on. Also, part of the circuitry is kept charged all the time, to reduce the 'warmup' time between turning the unit on and seeing a picture.

What appliances use electricity even when turned off?

Some appliances that use electricity even when turned off include televisions, computers, and chargers.


What item that continues to use electricity even though its switch may be in the off position?

If a device is switched off at the wall, then that is equivalent of being unplugged and it will not use electricity. However any device with a transformer in it that is switched off at the device (not the wall) will continue to use electricity. Televisions etc are like this, so are mobile phone chargers.


An item that continues to use electricity even though its switch is in the off position called?

An item that continues to use electricity even when its switch is in the off position is called a "phantom load" or "vampire device." These devices draw power in standby mode, often to maintain settings or be ready for quick activation. Common examples include chargers, televisions, and appliances with digital displays. Reducing phantom loads can help save energy and lower electricity bills.


Why might turning off the television and the lights help slow climate change?

Television and lights use electricity that is mostly generated by burning fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas). If this is the case, then one person turning them off reduces the demand on electricity a tiny bit. Now if a million people did it!


What appliances use the most electricity when turned off?

Appliances that use the most electricity when turned off are typically those with standby power modes, such as TVs, computers, and gaming consoles. These devices continue to consume energy even when not in use.

A television that has been set into stand by mode will still use some electricity. The electricity usage is much less than if the television was fully on but more than if it was off.
