If electrical plugs had only one prong, nothing would happen. Electricity would not complete a circuit. Nothing would work.

What would happen if we didn't have bottle caps?

If there were no bottle caps (as we currently know them), there would be covers or plugs of some type. For example: cork or wax or plastic plugs. Someone would invent something to protect the contents of a bottle.


Why would 3 prong plugs not fit into 3 prong outlets. This is a new home. All outlets only work on 2 prong plugs.?

This is very strange indeed. All modern houses in USA would have 3-prong outlets. I can't see how it could pass an electrical inspection. Check with the local agency who does inspections. Check your electric panel and look for an inspection sticker. I have encountered receptacles that are very hard to use because one or more of the pin slots (I don't know what else to call them) are way too tight. There is no easy remedy for this problem except to press hard to get the plug into the receptacle or replace the receptacle with one of a better quality. There are also child protective receptacles that require that two or three of the pins be pressed in at the same time or none of them will go. If the plug is just slightly off true it won't go.

How do you make 4 prong male plug to 3 prong male plug?

This is something that should not be done. If this was to be done you would be omitting the ground which in point can make it unsafe. I recommend changing the female end of the system and making it a 4 prong.


Why don't electrical cords have only one prong?

Because there is no path for the electricity to return with only one prong. Electricity needs a complete path to flow through. If you were to grab a hot prong and the electrical source then that would work, but I don't recommend it.

Is it legal to have a 2 prong socket in your house?

Generally yes, but it depends on the building codes in your area. Homes that have not been updated may have the older two prong sockets. All newer homes will have the three prong or grounded sockets. Any new construction would require three pronged sockets.
