The extension cord will extend the power outlet from a wall socket. The voltage will be the same at the end of the cord as it is from the socket. Be aware that extension cord may have a limit, as to how much current it can provide. The cord should be thick enough to provide as much power as the outlet can. It will then be properly protected by the circuit's fuse or breaker. A thin cord may get hot if a large consumer is plugged in, unless the cord is protected by it's own fuse at the plug end.
Differences between an extension cord and wall outlet:
Similarities between an extension cord and wall outlets:
NOTE: As with ANY electricity situation, risks exist so great care should be taken to make sure your building wiring and extension cord can handle continuous (even short term) electrical draw and any surges produced when a motor first begins to run.
A: absolutely not lamps needs current a long cord introduce IXR drop making less current for the lamp to use it
A cord is often the same thing as a cable or a wire, as in power cord - the cable between an electrical appliance and the wall socket. A core is something that inside, either physically in the center (like an apple core), or central in terms of importance, like the core of the emergency services(firefighters, ambulance etc) is a willingness to help people.
XHTML documents use the same HTML extension. They are similar just are more strict than the former.
No. Current does not come from a wall outlet unless the wall outlet is part of a complete circuit.
The voltage level
A normal extension cord has a plug on it that is the same as any other plug.
An indoor extension cord is usually made from the same material that your lamp cords are made from. An outside cord has an outer jacket that is usually round in shape and has the electrical data printed on the length of the cord.
no, you should use same amp and volt.
For some reason, UL (the group which evaluates the safety of electrical products) says that you shouldn't daisy-chain multiple power strips, and that you shouldn't plug a power strip into an extension cord. Any instructions that came with your power strip would probably tell you the same thing.
It's possible but not a good idea. The cord itself would have to be custom made. It would be a better idea and the same amount of work to just by a longer cord. They are sold in various lengths and easy to install.
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.

Extension leads running from an electrical item may be a good temporary solution but should not be used over the long term. One alternative to using an extension cord is to rearrange furniture or other items to maximize the use of electrical outlets in a room. One could also use a portable multi box socket which allows a number of appliances to be plugged in at the same time. A multi box is best used with appliances that require minimal power.
A cut electrical cord looses the ability to transfer the flow of electricity. The same is true of a severed nerve; it no longer can transmit messages.
a shorted out outlet can cause a backfeed on the white wire, an open circuit on the white wire with and electrical appliance plugged in to an outlet can cause the same type of backfeed
I have the same question, especially if the outlet was a heavy duty vending machine outlet. After I plugged a hair dryer into it, something went wrong. I recovered, but my health hasn't been the same.
This means that as the length of the extension cord increases, the resistance also increases. Similarly, if the length decreases, the resistance will decrease as well. This relationship is described by the equation R = kL, where R is the resistance, L is the length, and k is a constant.
