Can the cord on an electric heater be lengthened?
Yes, but with a heavier gauge wire <<>> If the cord on an electric heater needs to be lengthened as a perminant feature then the whole cord should be replaced with a new cord of the same type and wire size. What this prevents is aquiring bad splice connections at the point the connection is made. Bad splice connections will create hot spots in the cable. If the lengthening of the cord is just a temporary fix, just use an extension cord. The extension cord should be the same wire size as the heater cord. Keep the extension cord under 20 feet in length.

Why is the voltage at the end of a long extension lead used with an electric drill less than the mains supply voltage?
Resistance in the length of wire that makes up the extension cord causes voltage to drop. But it needn't be a problem with the right extension cord. For an electric drill, up to a 25 foot cord of 16 gauge wire will cause a voltage drop so small as to be negligible. For 50 feet, switch to a 14 gauge cord. For heavier power tools (circular saw in particular) you should use a 14 gauge extension from the get-go.

What was it when you were outside you went to pick up an extension cord when it felt like something smack you in the back of the head what was it and what should you do?
That was the wet extension cord giving you an electrical shock. Most exterior electrical outlets have a ground fault so you did not receive the full impact of the shock. You will be fine. Don't pick up plugged in electrical cords when they are wet, unplug them first.
