Basically if you overload a socket, it will burn the circuit. because basically pretend you had one socket and you had 5 plugs plugged into it but linked up to the other plug thing. All of the electricity will go into every socket but then will explode and kill all of the sockets.

No, the plug and socket are incompatible, and even if you changed the plug, the unit would not operate on such alow voltage.
Why would a cooker plug socket be warm?

What would cause a wall socket to catch on fire?
An outlet will only get hot enough to cause a fire if:There is a problem with the wiring connecting it to the supply, this will become quickly obvious when in use.It is overloaded. The electrical supply is supposed to have a fuse or breaker to prevent this.There is also a 3rd cause of potential fire:3. A loose wall socket connectionLoose wall socket connections can be a MAJOR concern, causing the plug and socket to overheat. This is primarily a problem on older homes.
What is the common way of referring to a plug and its corresponding socket as per the electrical engineering terminology?
Plug and socket, plug and socket outlet, plug and receptacle or plain plug and outlet all seem to be in common usage in the US. Plug and socket is possibly the only wording commonly used in the UK. [Plug and socket outlet sounds ok to a me, as a Brit, but we never really use that expression in the UK. Plug and outlet or plug and receptacle actually sound very strange!]
You broke a plug trying to remove it what is the best way to get it out?
Usually if you break a plug it is only the top white ceramic part. The only time this would be a problem is if your plugs are in the top of the head and down in a hole. They do make needle nose pliers long enough to reach down and get the plug. The ceramic part should have come out with the socket if using a regular spark plug socket. That would leave just the base. Take the socket and put a piece of tape on the inside of the socket on each face. Bring it out over the edge of the socket and onto the outside. This will make the socket enough smaller that it should hold on to the base of the spark plug so you can get it out.

What does a three phase motor look like?
A three phase motor looks like any other motor from the outside. It might be a little larger than a standard motor but it looks the same. If it is not hardwired but has a plug, the plug will have four prongs instead of three. The socket will look different from a standard socket or the socket for a stove or air conditioner. It will also have four holes. The hole for the ground plug will have a special indent. That makes it so you can not put the plug in wrong. A two phase motor will run the correct way regardless of how you put the plug in the socket. If you would put the plug for three phase motor in the socket the wrong way, the motor would run backwards.
What happen to 9.5v if it is plug into 220V outlet?
Anything of such voltage will be burnt if plugged in a 230v socket outlet because the voltage is too high.
