Plastic is a good insulator and a bad conductor of electricity, which makes it a good material to protect people from electric shocks when handling appliances.
On top of that, plastics are inexpensive and easy to shape.

Why is there an electric heating coil in a heat pump?
Heat pumps don't work well when the temperature outside drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The way a heat pump works is by absorbing heat from outside and moving inside using the refrigerant. Much like an air conditioner absorbs the heat from inside of your home and moves it out. Therefore the colder it is outside the less heat a heat pump can produce. The reason they install electric heat strips is to ensure that when the temperature outside gets below 40 you will still have enough heat available to heat the property.
What is flush mounted electrical installation?
In this case, flush means even with. For example an electric box could be mounted on the outside of your wall and would be an eyesore. Flush mounting recesses the box inside the wall and provides a flush mount for the outlet cover plate.
What would happen if electric cords did not have plastic around them?
The plastic is a form of insulation. Insulation used to be made from non-plastic materials like cloth. It protects the wire from the outside world. Without insulation the electricity would cause shocks, fires, and short circuits.
Where is the position of black wire in electric socket?
In a household circuit, with a "hot" conductor insulated black and a white neutral, the black wire should connect to the center terminal of the socket. The outside part of the socket usually has a brass screw (for the black wire) and a nickel screw (for the white wire).

Where to put split ac in a room?
I am not certain of what you are asking but here goes... Commercial service is carried to a home over three wires. The center wire is connected to earth ground. There is 120 volts AC from the center wire to one outside wire, 120 volts AC from the center wire and the other outside wire and 240 volts AC from one outside wire to the other one. All ordinary wall outlets and light fixtures operate off 120 volts. The object of home wiring is to connect one half of the anticipated 120 volt load to one of the outside wires (and the center ground wire) and the other half of the anticipated load to the other outside wire (and ground) In every case the white wire goes to ground. Appliances such as electric stoves, electric clothes dryers and some air conditioners operate off 240 volts. Such appliances are connected to the two outside wires (and ground) via special three-prong outlets.
