    An electrical outlet, also known as a socket or plug, allows electric devices to connect to the electrical grid and receive alternating current power. It has two sides that complete a circuit when a plug is inserted, allowing electricity to flow through the device. Common types of outlets include standard outlets, switched outlets that can be turned on and off, USB outlets for charging phones, GFCI and AFCI outlets that provide safety protections, and smart outlets that can be controlled remotely. Outlets are polarized and wired to provide grounding protection to prevent electric shock.

    WHAT IS AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET?

    Electrical Outlets
    -Also known as outlets, electrical sockets, plugs and wall
    plugs
    -It allows the electric equipment to connect to the electrical
    grid.

    The electrical grid provides alternating current to the outlet.


    The two sides of an electrical outlet represent part of a ‘loop of
    wire’ and plugging an electrical device into that outlet completes
    that loop, which allow the electricity to flow through the device so it
