What is a fuse with a higher than required rating used in an electrical circuit?
A fuse with a higher than rated for a electrical circuit is used to handle spikes in the electricity delivered. Lets take a normal household wall socket. They are said rated at 120 Volt . They are in fact 115 V to 125 V a/c electricity @ 15 Amps.
How many watts will a 14 gauge extension cord handle?
Assuming that the extension cord is plugged into a normal household receptacle rated at 15 amps the cord will handle 15A x 120V = 1800 watts. If the cord is of any length, at that wattage, you will feel the cord start to get warm like a heating cable.

Can the current in a electrical circuit be increased by bulbs?
Yes. In normal house wiring, every time you plug in any lamp or appliance, you will increase the amount of current ("amperes" or just "amps") that you draw. The circuit breakers or fuses in your house's electrical box are there to keep you from plugging so many things in that the wire gets hot enough to cause a fire. Just to be clear however, the light bulbs do not create current. They pull current through themselves. Bulbs (and all other electrical devices) pull electrical current in the same way that opening the water valve on your sink pulls a flow of current of water. Your house's electrical service can be thought of as a water hose with the end plugged up. Whenever you let a little of the water flow out (i.e. ... turn on a light bulb) you create a current of water (an electrical current in the case of our light bulb).
What is flex outlet?
An appliance cable or "flex" outlet is a type of electrical outlet which is NOT a "socket outlet" to take plugs for appliances so that they can be plugged and un-plugged. An appliance cable or "flex" outlet has terminals inside it. The terminals allow the wires in an appliance cable or "flex" to be connected to the household wiring in a building. The household wiring comes from the building's main electrical power panel, which carries the main circuit breakers. The circuit breakers are fitted to protect the household wiring from catching on fire if any circuit is overloaded. Such appliance cable or "flex" outlets also have strain-relief clips. A strain-relief clip helps to prevent the cable from being yanked out of the outlet if the appliance gets moved away from the wall where the outlet is installed. Such outlets, with terminals inside and strain-relief clips, are used for fixed appliances, such as ranges or dryers, which should never have to be un-plugged during normal use of the appliance by the user.
