What will happen if the plug is pulled from the socket by the cord?
It may damage the cord. You may or may not have a problem if you pull a plug from a socket by its cord. The cord contains wires which are attached, inside the plug, to the protruding blades that enter the socket. That attachment may be very firm, or possibly not so firm. In addition, some plugs fit very firmly inside a socket and consequently are difficult to pull out, and others fit very loosely and are easy to pull out. In the worst case scenario, in which the wires are weakly attached inside the plug, and the plug fits firmly in the socket, the result of pulling the plug out by the cord may be that the wires will become disconnected inside the plug, which will then cease to work properly. And even if the wires do not become immediately disconnected, you may be progressively weakening the connection, if you habitually pull out a plug by means of the cord. Eventually the wiring will fail.
Can you plug a 220V light bulb into a 240V base?
Yes, you can plug a 220V light bulb into a 240V base. The slight increase in voltage should not affect the operation of the light bulb significantly, as most light bulbs have a tolerance range built-in to handle small voltage fluctuations. However, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's specifications for the light bulb to ensure safe operation.

Can I use a US shaver in Europe?
Yes, but you need to check the input voltage on the label of the shaver. Most are 100-240v so it will accept the input ok. The other issue is the type of plug it has on it. Depending whether it is a rechargeable or just plain mains-only shaver it will probably have a two pin plug. If the pins are round, they will fit into any bathroom shaver socket. If they are flat, they are designed to go into a regular wall socket, so you will need a travel plug for the country you are travelling to. <<>> Most shavers are able to use 100-240 v but they have an adjustment which must be set to the new voltage when you change country. My shaver can be switched to 110 v, 120 v , 220 v and 240 v and if it is connected to the wrong voltage it might not work and/or it might be damaged.

Plug and socket, plug and socket outlet, plug and receptacle or plain plug and outlet all seem to be in common usage in the US. Plug and socket is possibly the only wording commonly used in the UK. [Plug and socket outlet sounds ok to a me, as a Brit, but we never really use that expression in the UK. Plug and outlet or plug and receptacle actually sound very strange!]
