Should a dry chemical extinguisher or a pressure water extinguisher be used on an electrical fire?
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.
What type of fire would you use a powder fire extinguisher for?
There is no liquid powder extinguisher on the market.

How much grain powder 7.62x39?
There are hundreds of possible loads, depending on WHICH powder, and WHICH bullet. Rather than give you a load, we would rather refer you to a good reloading manual. Lyman makes a very good manual. The amount of powder must be correct for THAT type of powder AND the weight/type of bullet used.

What class fire extinguisher would put a hairdryer out?
Assuming the fire is caused by an electrical problem, you would need a class c extinguisher.
Would you use a carbon dioxide or powder fire extinguisher in an enclosed space?
Carbon Dioxide extinguishers displace the air from the immediate area, and so are not suitable for confined spaces (though they're safe in a normal-sized room). Dry powder is non-toxic, but is discharged as a cloud of irritating dust, which can cause vision problems in a confined space. Generally, I would use the nearest extinguisher suitable for the fire, and vacate the area immediately after discahrge to wait for the fire service to check the area.
