To short out an electrical cord, all that had to be done if find a way to touch the black conductor to the white or green conductor. Why this would be required is a mystery as most installations strive to stop the shorting of electrical cords and wiring.
absolutely, with a frayed cord or an electrical short in the wire
Pulling a plug out by its cord can damage the cord and the electrical outlet, leading to potential electrical hazards. This practice can also compromise the insulation, increasing the risk of short circuits or electrical fires. Always grasp the plug itself to ensure safe and proper disconnection from the outlet.
Electrical cord is also refered to as power cord, line cord, and main cable. Electrical cord is mainly used to connect the appliance to the main electricity supply via wall socket.
A label.
Short electrical cords are less likely to get tangled, to get tripped over, to get stepped on which can cause fraying, or to otherwise be messy and troublesome. Of course, if you don't happen to have a conveniently located electrical outlet, your short cord won't be that convenient after all. But you can always use an extension cord or power bar if you need to.
They could if they have cuts in the outer layer of insulation. The outer sheath of the cord is what is used to protect the inner conductors of the cord. Any damage to it should be repaired immediately. A properly maintained electrical extension cord should give years of service.
Pulling by the cord will loosen the wiring inside the plug, which could cause a short. It could also strain the contacts in the socket, or bend the pins.

When plugging and unplugging electrical appliances, always ensure your hands are dry to prevent electrical shock. Grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out of the socket to avoid damaging the cord or outlet. Never yank the cord, and avoid unplugging appliances by pulling on the cord itself. Additionally, ensure that the appliance is turned off before unplugging it to prevent sparks or short circuits.
Unplugging an electrical cord can be dangerous due to the risk of electric shock, especially if the person is touching the plug or cord with wet hands or standing on a wet surface. Additionally, if the cord is yanked out forcefully, it may cause damage to the outlet, leading to sparks or electrical fires. Finally, if the appliance is still in use, unplugging it abruptly can result in short circuits or data loss in electronic devices. Always ensure to turn off the device before unplugging for safety.
The extension cord was invented in 1904 by S. W. Atherton, an American inventor and electrical engineer.
