The extension cord will extend the power outlet from a wall socket. The voltage will be the same at the end of the cord as it is from the socket.

It will then be properly protected by the circuit's fuse or breaker. A thin cord may get hot if a large consumer is plugged in, unless the cord is protected by it's own fuse at the plug end.
