Electrical plugs are male electrical connectors
that fit into female electrical sockets. The plugs have metal-blade prongs
that connect electrically with holes in the electrical socket, thus allowing
electricity to flow from the power supply to an electrically powered object
equipped with a plug.
Plugs normally have a live contact, a neutral contact and a ground contact.
These contacts may be steel or brass, and are coated with zinc, tin or nickel.
Today, it is common to see both three-prong and two-prong electrical plugs.
The original two-prong electrical plug was invented in 1904. The three-prong
plug was invented in 1928, and served to improve safety and prevent electrical
shock by using a “ground” prong.
Type “A” electrical plugs are those with two prongs. They are
used on devices which do not require a ground connection, such as lamps and
some small appliances. Type “B” electrical plugs have three prongs,
one of which is a longer “grounding” pin. This pin grounds the
device before an electrical connection is made with the other two prongs, thus
preventing electrical shocks.
