If you had to ask this question here you should not try to do this job yourself, you should call a licensed electrician to correct the fault and advise what other work may be needed to bring the circuit - and maybe other circuits in your home - up to full electrical safety standards.
Serious home fires can result if this kind of fault condition is not corrected urgently.
To comply with the terms of your home insurance policy you must be sure that the circuit supplying power to any outlet uses the correct type and size of cable, the correct type of circuit breaker as well as the correct type of wall receptacle, and that all connections are tight.
Another answer
Typically this is caused by a loose connection somewhere in the circuit. Turn off the power to the circuit and remove the outlet and inspect. No problems found move to the next one and do the same. You may have to go all the way back to the panel to find the problem. Breakers sometimes burn the buss where they clip on and cause this problem. Also check the connections at the neutral bar.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What else can I help you with?
Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?
No, it is not recommended to plug a 125 volt 30 amp plug into a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. The voltage difference may cause damage to the equipment and pose a safety hazard. It is important to use the correct voltage outlets for your devices.
Can you plug a 110V appliance into a 115V outlet?
120 Volts and 115 Volts refer to the same thing in the US. Residential electricity is provided at 120 Volts from the utility. High current devices such as motors are often rated at less than the supplied voltage (such as 115 Volts) because it is expected that there is a small amount of voltage drop in the circuit feeding them. The National Electric Code allows a 5% drop in voltage from the electric service so a 5 Volt drop from 120 Volts is OK.
Can you plug110v to 220v outlet?
No. First off, the plug will be different. And even if you replace the plug, it won't work right on the wrong voltage
Can you plug a 250 volt lamp into US outlet?
Yes. If the plug (cap) end of the 250 volt lamp is compatible to the receptacle the lamp would work. The light output of the lamp would not be very bright. Because the working voltage is halved so would the light output.
Can you plug a 115 volt 15 amp airconditioning unit to a 100 volt outlet?
I have never seen a 100 Volt rated outlet. Usually outlets would be rated for 110 to 120 volts for residential use, or maybe 150 volts. The rating is separate from what voltage the outlet is providing. If your outlet is supplying 100 volts, as measured by an accurate voltmeter, you have some problem in your wiring or a faulty outlet. If there is only 100 volts at the outlet get an electrician to diagnose the problem if you are not completely familiar with home wiring. In general you should never use an outlet that has a voltage or current rating less that the device will consume.
Will a 12 volt light plug into a standard wall outlet?
No, it will cause the bulb to blow. A 12 volt light is DC voltage and your home outlet is AC voltage.
Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?
No, it is not recommended to plug a 125 volt 30 amp plug into a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. The voltage difference may cause damage to the equipment and pose a safety hazard. It is important to use the correct voltage outlets for your devices.

Can you plug a 150 into 120?
No, you cannot plug a 150-volt device directly into a 120-volt outlet, as it may not function properly and could be damaged. Devices are designed to operate within specific voltage ranges, and connecting a higher voltage device to a lower voltage outlet may lead to insufficient power supply. Always check the voltage requirements of your devices and use the appropriate outlet or transformer to ensure safe operation.
Can you plug in 110 volt appliance into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes.
Can you plug In a 220 volt to a 110 outlet?
no

How can you power your CB at home to a standard wall outlet?
Get a 120 volt ac to 12volt dc power supply. you plug them into a house outlet and it converts120 house voltage to 12 volt dc , some have regulators on them and you can turn the dc voltage up and down on them. make sure you set your device to the proper voltage before turning on.
Can you use 140 volt in 240 volt plug?
Using a 140-volt appliance in a 240-volt plug is not safe and is not recommended. The appliance is likely to be damaged due to the higher voltage, potentially causing overheating or electrical failure. Always ensure that the voltage specifications of your appliances match the outlet voltage to avoid hazards. If you need to use a 140-volt device, consider using a step-down transformer designed for that purpose.
Can you plug a computer into a 115 volt outlet?
Yes
