What will happen if the plug is pulled from the socket by the cord?
It may damage the cord. You may or may not have a problem if you pull a plug from a socket by its cord. The cord contains wires which are attached, inside the plug, to the protruding blades that enter the socket. That attachment may be very firm, or possibly not so firm. In addition, some plugs fit very firmly inside a socket and consequently are difficult to pull out, and others fit very loosely and are easy to pull out. In the worst case scenario, in which the wires are weakly attached inside the plug, and the plug fits firmly in the socket, the result of pulling the plug out by the cord may be that the wires will become disconnected inside the plug, which will then cease to work properly. And even if the wires do not become immediately disconnected, you may be progressively weakening the connection, if you habitually pull out a plug by means of the cord. Eventually the wiring will fail.
