The switch to the appliance is down stream from where the power comes in from the plug. Even though the appliance is turned off at the switch the appliance has electricity up to the switch. As you stated there will be voltage potential right up until the pins of the appliance become disengaged from the receptacle If you have ever noticed a three blade plug, the ground pin is longer that the hot and neutral blades. What this accomplishes is that when plugging in a device the ground is made first and when un-plugging the ground is the last to be disconnected. By holding the appliance you were at the same ground potential as the appliance. By touching the "hot" side of the plug when pulling it out you became the return path for the electricity to flow. If you had touched the neutral side of the plug when pulling it out you would have felt nothing. Be careful when removing plugs from receptacles. Always pull on the plug body and never on the appliance's cord
What else can I help you with?
When unplugging and electrical appliance what part do you pull on?
When unplugging an electrical appliance, you should pull on the plug itself, not the cord. Grasping the plug allows you to disconnect it safely from the outlet without risking damage to the cord or the outlet. Pulling on the cord can lead to fraying, expose wires, or potentially create a safety hazard. Always ensure your hands are dry and the appliance is turned off before unplugging.
When plugging and unplugging electrical appliances what should you do?
When plugging and unplugging electrical appliances, always ensure your hands are dry to prevent electrical shock. Grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out of the socket to avoid damaging the cord or outlet. Never yank the cord, and avoid unplugging appliances by pulling on the cord itself. Additionally, ensure that the appliance is turned off before unplugging it to prevent sparks or short circuits.
Does a socket use energy when it is turned on but the appliance connected is turned off?

What type of fault causes an appliance to blow a fuse when the appliance is turned on?
A fault that causes an appliance to blow a fuse when it is turned on is typically a short circuit. This occurs when there is an unintended path for electricity to flow, often due to damaged wiring or a malfunctioning component within the appliance. The excessive current resulting from the short circuit exceeds the fuse's rating, causing it to blow and protect the circuit from damage. Other potential causes could include overloads or ground faults, but short circuits are the most common reason for blowing a fuse.
