its an overload on the circuit breaker the 3 outlets are on.. many times groups of outlets are on different circuit breakers.. even though they are in the same room... especially if some are on a gfi outlet
I traced the wire from the fan to the junction box and the connection was loose.
No, it will cause the bulb to blow. A 12 volt light is DC voltage and your home outlet is AC voltage.
The terms, 'lagging' and 'leading', describe the relationship between a circuit's load current and supply voltage. They describe whether the load current waveform is leading or lagging the supply voltage -always the current, never the voltage. Inductive loads always cause the current to lag the supply voltage, whereas capacitive loads always cause the current to lead the supply voltage.
Overload can cause contact chatter. Once the contact closes, the voltage in the circuit collapses and that causes the relay to drop out. At this pint the relay energizes, since the voltage is back. This cycle will continue on.
Zero, or very close to it. If there is a large neutral current flowing, voltage drop on the neutral leg could cause a volt or so to read between the two. If you read full line voltage, the outlet is wired wrong!
High resistance on the feeder to the load will cause voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. If this is happening, do the calculations for voltage drop, using the amperage of the load, voltage of the load, the size of the wire feeding the load and the distance from the distribution panel to the load.
This causes flow because voltage is what powers a circuit
Most likely a short circuit will cause no voltage. Due to the high current on a short circuit fault the over current protection of the circuit will trip. This will cut the voltage supply off completely.

It sounds like the air conditioner is not on a dedicated circuit. When it is on a circuit with other electrical equipment, the voltage is dragged down when a heavy load is applied to the circuit. Try plugging the A/C into another outlet and see if this lessens the voltage drop. If it does you might want to consider installing a circuit only for the air conditioner.
a shorted out outlet can cause a backfeed on the white wire, an open circuit on the white wire with and electrical appliance plugged in to an outlet can cause the same type of backfeed
It depends on the circuit. For example, providing the a.c. voltage is the same as the rated d.c. voltage, it would not harm a lighting circuit.
Voltage leads current or, more specifically current lags voltage, in an inductive circuit. This is because an inductor resists a change in current.
Voltage provides the "pressure" to push current "flow" through the circuit resistance.
It causes a proportional increase in current.
In a simple circuit, lowering the voltage will not cause the resistance to do anything. Lowering the voltage will, however, cause the current to also lower.This ignores temperature coefficient. If there is substantial power involved, a typical bulb, for instance, will grow cooler and its resistance will decrease when you lower the voltage, but that is usually a small effect.
there is a difference in electrical potential energy.
it will cause a Short Circuit
