Can your tongue fit inside the small holes in an electrical outlet?

No, but your spit may touch a contact and the shock could kill you. So don't even think about doing such a stupid thing!

Have a voltage difference across the two holes of an electrical outlet and a generator at a power plant provides this voltage difference?
First of all, let's get the terminology correct -there is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'. 'Voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', so 'voltage difference' would mean 'potential difference difference', which doesn't make any sense! So you should be referring to the voltage across the holes of an outlet, not the 'voltage difference' across those holes.The voltage produced by a generator in the power station produces a much greater voltage (up to 30 000 volts) than the voltage that appears across your outlet (120 V in North America or 230 V in Europe). Furthermore the generator's voltage gets increased even higher (hundreds of thousands of volts) before the electricity transmission can take place. Eventually, those high voltages are reduced, using transformers, until it reaches your outlet.
What is electrical flow?
flow of electrcity is nothing but the flow of electrons from one point to another point ina conductor
If a pure Si crystal has a million free electrons inside it how many holes does it have.what happens to the no of free electrons and holes if the ambient temperature increases?
If the crystal is pure Si (no dopants or impurities) then the number of free electrons in the conduction band will be equal to the number of holes in the valence band. Each electron leaves behind a hole when it is thermally excited into the conduction band. If the ambient temp. increases, there will be more thermal energy available which will increase both the number electrons and the number of holes.
True are false. electricity is a flow of negative charge?
False. 1. Electricity involves the movement of electrical charges. The most common case is the movement of electrons (a negative charge), but other possibilities exist, such as movement of charges through ions (positive or negative), or holes (positive). 2. Even stating that electricity IS a flow of charged particles is a gross and misleading simplification. An electrical current INVOLVES the flow of charges, but that does not fully describe an electrical current.
How do snap ring pliers work?
The little end nubs fit into the tiny holes in the ring then you expand or contract them depending on type of ring ( most are outside rings but some are inside rings)
What type of material is inside the holes in the outlet?
Inside the "holes" are springy brass fingers that grip the plug prongs when you insert the wall plug, making connection with your home's electrical system.
What kind of material is inside the holes in the outlet?
Do that
What drill bit do you use to make hole in electrical outlet box?
If you are using proper authorised outlet boxes, they come with all the holes pre-cut. Holes to mount wire clamps and holes for mounting screws. If you don't use these you are not 'to code'
How does one adapt a three pronged plug on a dryer to a electrical outlet with four holes?
You need to find an adapter.
How do woodpeckers eat?
They peck holes in wood then use a very long tongue to get insects out from inside.
What is a 3 prong outlet?
Simply put, it is any electrical outlet the has three holes that the female end plugs into. What this is referred to most of the time (but not always) is a regular 110V outlet. Older outlets had only two holes, one for the hot, one for the neutral. All newer installations have the third hole for the ground wire.
How many holes are there on a standard 120 volt electrical outlet?
Usually 3. Why two different size prong? Two for the prongs and a third for the ground.
Why do wood peackers peck at trees?
It makes holes so that it can use its barbed tongue to grab bugs inside the tree.
What is this outlet in your kitchen it is round with many holes?
If it's an outlet that's round with many holes it is probably the drain in the sink.
What is another word for pore?
opening, outlet
What are electrical safety devices?
The most common one you see around your home is the GFI outlet, (ground-fault interrupter), which monitors the balance of electricity going through the plug. If there is an imbalance, the switch will 'trip' and shut off the current. Another electrical safety device a plastic plug that is inserted into an unused electrical outlet to prevent children from sticking things into the plug holes and getting electrocuted. The third item is the breakers that control electrical current to the different parts of your home. This works on a larger scale, but is similar to how a GFI outlet works. Instead of monitoring just one plug, a breaker protects an entire circuit (or electrical zone) of a home or building.
