Power plugs and (1)__________ are devices for (2) __________ electrically-operated devices to the power supply. An (3) __________ plug is an electrical (4) __________ with a contact pin that is connected to a (5) __________ . Wall sockets are also known as power points, power sockets or electrical outlets. They are electrical connectors that have holes which accept and deliver (6) __________ to the pins of inserted plugs. Sockets are (7) __________ to accept only matching plugs and reject all others. To reduce the (8) __________ of injury or death by electric shock, some plug and socket (9) __________ incorporate various safety features and design aspects. An electrical (10)__________ between discrete points allows the flow of electrons (electric current). A pair of connections is needed for a circuit. The connection may be of two (11) __________ – temporary (as for portable equipment that can be removed) and permanent (as for electrical joint between two wires or devices). An (12) __________ connector is a conductive device for joining electrical circuits together. There are hundreds of types of electrical connectors.
