A 13 amp adapter can handle a maximum current of 13 amps. It is important not to exceed this limit to avoid overheating or damaging the adaptor. Always check the power requirements of the device you are plugging in to ensure it does not draw more current than the adaptor can safely handle.

Yes, but you will need to ensure that a 5-A fuse is fitted inside the plug. '13-A' is its nominal rated current; the actual current is determined by the load which, in your question is 5 A. So a 5-A device is perfectly safe to use with a 13-A plug.
To calculate the wattage of a 13-amp 3-pin multi-socket, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts × Amps. In the UK, standard voltage is typically 230 volts. Therefore, a 13-amp socket can handle up to 2990 watts (230 volts × 13 amps).
No, a 13 amp plug is designed for higher power devices like appliances and electronics. A 6 unit of 6 volt bulb typically requires much less power and would be better suited for a lower amp plug or a transformer.
Depending on the efficiency of the flood lights, you should be able to safely run one 500 watt flood light on a 13 amp plug. Keep in mind that it's important not to exceed the amp limit to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
Never. The wiring would not support that much current.
In the YUK an electric kettle has a 13 amp fuse., together with a 250 voltage. However, in the USA the voltage is lower and so ther fuse amperage may be different.
absolutely not
The 13 amp fuse with blow at the lower rate to the 15 amp fuse. And At 15 amp the motor is normally more powerful - check the wattage used in both
No more than 13 maximum on a 20 amp circuit.

The difference between fuses is the current that they are designed to support. A fuse is intended as a safety measure to protect against overload. A 3 amp fuse should burn out if more than 3 amps is run through it, with some allowance for standard variance. A 13 amp fuse would burn out with greater than 13 amps. It is always a bad idea to use a fuse bigger than you need, because if your component is designed for a 3 amp fuse and you use a 13 amp fuse, there is a good chance you could damage your component with too much amperage because the fuse would not burn out at 3 amps, as was intended.
Fuse #13 or the 40 amp itm is the only forty amp

Plugs for appliances rated between about 700 watts and 3000 watts (the maximum rating of a wall socket) should be fitted with a 13-amp fuse (coloured brown).
On a 20 amp circuit, it is safe to install up to 13 outlets that are rated for 15 amps each.
If you do that the likelihood is that you will blow the 3A fuse quickly. There is a reason why the current fuse is what it is, because it is expecting currents around 80% of 13 A or around 10 A.
