I am using ubuntu 13.10, and have bumblebee installed. I can see that bumblebeed is running.

I would like to test whether the NVidia card is currently powered. Can I do this?

You can check that using cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch:

$ cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch 

0000:01:00.0 OFF

If for some reason it stays on when you are not using it, check your Bumblebee configuration (stored in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf), more precisely the PMMethod value.
