how does a fire extinguisher work
Flammable metals often require special chemicals to extinguish, assuming there are any. So, in fact, you WOULD use a "chemical extinguisher", but probably not an ordinary dry chemical extinguisher.
He was a black inventor who invented the fire extinguisher.
Depends entirely on what the chemical is.
Assuming this extinguisher is following Australian rules, that is a dry chemical extinguisher. If this is an American extinguisher, there are no standards, only conventions, and I couldn't tell you by color alone.
You would not want to use a pressure water extinguisher on any electrical fire due to the possibility of electricity being conducted through the water and injuring someone. A CO2, dry chemical or "clean agent" (e.g., "Halogenated") extinguisher would be a better choice for an electrical fire, knowing that dry chemical powder will make quite a mess.

"Just how does a fire extinguisher work?" is a perfectly good interrogative sentence.
A Class A, B, C, or ABC fire extinguisher works wonders on several different types of fires. A is good for wood, paper, etc. B is good for liquids. C is good for electrical fires. Do not use a Class D, for these are best on metals (such as magnesium).
