How do you remove a stuck plug from a wall socket?
The very first thing you have to do is kill the power to that outlet at the breaker or fuses. If you don't have a meter to check it, plug a radio in, turn it on, then start pulling fuses or tripping breakers until the raido goes off. If the plug has arced and welded itself into the socket, you may be better off replacing the outlet and starting all over again. If you don't know anything about electricity, get someone with the training and equipment to do the job safely.
How do you test a standard house light socket with a voltage meter?
Carefully! Set your voltage meter to the nearest setting above 120 volt AC. Turn the power on to the socket. Take the lead marked "common" on your meter and touch it to the shell of the socket, that's the metal circular part which the lamp screws into. At the same time take the other "positive" meter lead and touch the tip of it to the brass electrode in the center top of the socket. You should read 110-120 volts. Be REAL careful no to cross your two meter leads or you'll create a dead short and it'll blow up in your face! Wear safety glasses when doing this.
