[QUOTE="Raven, post: 2351203, member: 558368"] This is an interesting question. In theory, there is a chance of there being the slightest amount of electricity left in a device after it's unplugged. Unless of course, there is something to consume it. If the device had a single component that stored or used electricity (Capacitor, resistor, electrical motor) the electricity would probably be consumed by those components immediately after their main source of power was removed. If there was wire in it, the electricity would probably be immediately dissipated as heat. (There would be so little electricity left that you'd never be able to tell this is happening) I guess my theory is that the extra electricity left in a device after it's unplugged is immediately consumed by the device in it's attempt to keep doing whatever it was doing while plugged in.
