The 200 ft extension cord is 200 feet long.
An extension cord is a long power cord that plugs into an outlet and receives with an outlet. A computer cord just uses one long cable to transfer power to the computer from the outlet.
I need an extension cord for my radio, because its cord is not long enough.
No. However, a longer extension cord has higher resistance for a given wire gauge or size compared to a short extension cord and the voltage at the load device may drop so low that it doesn't work properly. This may also be accompanied by a noticeable rise in the temperature of the extension cord. As a rule, use the shortest extension cord that will get the job done. If the extension cord must be long, use one that has heavy gauge wire to minimize voltage drop at the load.
no, you should use same amp and volt.
Yes, as long as the extension cord is rated for the load. Most microwave ovens use 1000W or more, some less. A standard two wire extension cord would be unsafe. There are, however, extension cords which have the proper gauge of wire and the necessary 3-prong outlets which a microwave would need to operate safely.
An extension lead has a plug on one end and a few sockets on the other end. They are used to reach appliances that are far away from the main sockets. It is very safe to use an extension cord as long as you don't overload them.
The cable is about 4 feet but you could use an extension cord with it.
A: absolutely not lamps needs current a long cord introduce IXR drop making less current for the lamp to use it
Extension: A part added to something to enlarge or prolong it; a continuation The action or process of becoming or making something larger. The barn is in the process of having an extension for the horses added to the side. The power cord was not long enough to reach the playhouse so father got an extension cord for me.
Not in general. You can buy extension cords in a variety of lengths. However, the longer the cord the more the resistance and the bigger the voltage drop across the length of the cord. If you were using the cord outdoors and the junction was on the ground it is possible for moisture to cause a short at the junction.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch takes an extension cord and light bulb down to the jail and sits outside by the light of that bulb reading a newspaper at night.
For outdoor power tools, it is recommended to use a heavy-duty extension cord that is at least 12 gauge and 50 feet long to ensure safe and efficient power supply.
