If you measure the current coming from a wall outlet in your house will it give the same reading the meter uses to compute your home energy use?
No. Current does not come from a wall outlet unless the wall outlet is part of a complete circuit.
What is the period of the voltage waveform out of a wall outlet?
60 seconds
How much current will a 120-V wall outlet push through a 20-ohm circuit?
6
Can you use an oscilloscope to measure the 110 volts AC in a home wall outlet if so how is it done safely to avoid damage to the oscilloscope?
The first thing to consider in measuring the line voltage of a home wall outlet is the oscilloscope probe voltage rating. Most high-impedance probes have a resistance of one Megohm of greater and will withstand peak voltages in excess of 200 Volts, but it pays to make sure that you do not damage the resistor within the probe. The next item of concern is the current flowing in the power line ground. If you have a ground current protected outlet, then it will be safe from dangerous ground currents. It will also limit the voltage errors produced by any circulating ground currents. As is the case for many instruments, the metal case is generally tied to the line common through a small capacitor, so the ground current can produce a small voltage between the case and line common. That is the purpose of using a line current interrupter for protection. Do NOT connect the oscilloscope ground lead to the line socket. If you connect it to the wrong pin, then the case can be at a high enough voltage to cause shock. Better to be on the safe side. Keep in mind that the voltage is rating in RMS (root-mean-square) volts and not peak or average volts. Therefore, the sine wave peak is 1.414 (square root of 2) times the RMS voltage. Conversely, the RMS voltage the peak voltage divided by 1.414.
Do all toilets fit the same?
As far as the drain, Yes. Some older ones are set out from the wall further. 12 inches is standard and they are 15 I believe. That's back wall to center of the drain.Heck NOWall Hung toilets back outlet, Floor mounted back outlet, 10,12,14, INCH ROUGH come on guys READ the roughing books that Jesus made for man kind
How do you insulate an electrical outlet?
If the outlet is on an outside wall there is a plastic boot that goesaround the outlet. The purpose of this boot is to keep the vapour barrier intact. The edges of this boot are then taped to the wall vapour barrier to make a complete air seal. The insulation goes behind the outlet boot which allows the wall R value to remain the same as the rest of the wall.
How do you dedicate a wall outlet?
A dedicated wall outlet is the only one on the circuit.
What does wall charger mean?
A charger (like cable - plugs into an outlet) and charges from an outlet on the wall...?
Have a wall outlet that when you turn the light switch on the outlet has no power need help?
Change the wall outlets
Should an all-in-one scanner be plugged into the wall outlet?
No reason not to as long as the wall outlet is the correct voltage. most are designed to be plugged into a 110v outlet.
What allows you to plug your computer into a standard wall outlet?
an AC Adapter allows you to plug your computer into a standard wall outlet
If you measure the current coming from a wall outlet in your house will it give the same reading the meter uses to compute your home energy use?
No. Current does not come from a wall outlet unless the wall outlet is part of a complete circuit.
How far from a door can an electrical outlet be installed?
As close as you want. You must insall an outlet a minium of every 12 feet of wall space. If the wall is smaller that 24" it does not require an outlet.
What is the definition of duplex outlet?

any wall 2' or over
How do you check your wall outlet for ground?
You can get a tester that plugs into the outlet at any home improvement store.
How is there electricity and magnetism in a computer?
It is plugged into a wall outlet.
