On some things, yes, others, no. To generalize, if its electronic, then it probably has a control circuit that is still consuming some extremely tiny amount of power. If it is manually operated, it probably doesn't consume anything (ie vacuum, toaster, blender, oscillating fan, drill, etc).
If it has a light when it's off, it's using power (ie: that little red light on your TV, DVD player, the clock on a coffee machine).

Do USB outlets waste power when devices are left plugged in but not charging?
USB outlets do consume a small amount of power when devices are left plugged in but not charging, but the amount is typically very low and considered negligible.
Core plugs are also called?
Core plugs are also known as freeze plugs or expansion plugs. They are used to seal the holes left in an engine block after the casting process.
What wastes more energy leaving your computer on or keep turning it off?
Turning off your computer when not in use saves more energy compared to leaving it on. The amount of energy used to start up a computer is minimal compared to the continuous energy consumed when the computer is left running. It is typically recommended to turn off your computer when it will not be in use for an extended period to save energy.
Why power circuits and lighting circuits require a separate circuit breaker?
Utility outlets and lighting outlets should be separate so that when a utilization device plugged into an outlet trips the breaker or blows the fuse, you won't be left trying to find your way to safety in the dark. Light fixtures are much less likely to trip a breaker in ordinary use, but there are places you also want more than one lighting circuit for illumination.
