Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.If the voltage is 120 volts at 1500 watts then the current is 12.5 amps (A = W/V). The term "heavy duty extension cord" has no meaning unless a wire size, voltage rating and insulation temperature factor is mentioned. An extension cord with #12 wire in it will work fine. Try and keep the cord as short as possible so as cord heating does not become a problem.

What size space heater is needed for a 10 by 12 foot room?

In order to find the correct size space heater, first you need to find the AREA of the room, which is 10 x 12 = 120 square feet. Then you multiply this by 3.41 BTU's = 4092 BTU's. A STANDARD SPACE HEATER will be appropriate (a standard space heater is appropriate for up to 5100 BTUs or 1500 watts). If there are a lot of windows or the ceilings are higher than normal (normal is from 8 ft to 10 ft tall ceilings), than you may need a larger space heater, but in this case, a standard sized space heater will do.

Can you use an extention cord with a table top microwave oven?

Yes, and extension cord can be used with a microwave. But it is critical to pick an extension cord with a sufficiently high rating on it. Hardware stores and large home stores have extension cords specifically for use as appliance extension cords. They are heavy, and they have only a single place on the end to plug something into. They cost a bit, but are worth it in peace of mind.
