Could you unplug this? Do you have an adapter for this kind of plug? This outlet is full. Before plugging in a device, make sure it can handle the outlet's voltage. Do you have an adapter that would work for this? What voltage are the outlets in Czech Republic? When unplugging an electrical cord, pull it by the terminal, not the cord! Electrical arcs are very hot and can cause damage to a plug. Avoid electrical arcs by turning appliances off before plugging them in or unplugging them. Volts times amps equals watts. Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the movement of electrons. Electrons are negatively charged particles found within atoms, which make up matter. Electric currents are the flow of electrons through a conductor, like a wire. Electrical conductors, such as metals, allow electricity to flow easily. Electrical insulators, such as plastics, resist the flow of currents. Electric circuits are paths that allow electricity to move from a power source to a device and back. Lightning is a natural example of electricity, caused by the discharge of built-up electrical energy in the atmosphere. Electricity is a natural phenomenon that we have harnessed to make life better.
