Because the power needed to make them work is delivered by a national 'grid' of electrical cables. There is no way to actually transmit power to an appliance through the air. It must be deilvered by cables.

Can i use dishwasher and washing machine on multiple plug?

If you only have one wall socket where the washing machine and dishwasher are, then you could plug in a multi-plug adaptor, into which both appliances could then be plugged in. There are also multi sockets in a strip with a single plug on a short cable available. For instance, in my outhouse, I have a dryer and a washing machine that are plugged into a three way adaptor. The adaptor is then plugged into a RCD, or residual current device. Finally, the RCD is plugged into the single wall socket.


Do you waste electricity if you leave your phone charger plugged in?

No. Electrical appliances, when plugged in, create a "circuit." That means that there's an entry and an exit with a powered device somewhere inline. That's why there are two prongs on a plug. On the power adapter for your cell phone the circuit isn't complete unless it's plugged into the phone, so no power will flow through it. ______________ Not entirely true. Notice that the power pack, even with no device plugged in, remains warm to the touch; that's positive evidence that the device continues to draw power. However, the drain is minimal.
