3 pin Plugs

[Dreamer]

What materials are the parts of a plug made from? And why? And how does it work?

plugs are made from metal(usually brass) and plastic Metal to conduct (electricity) Plastic (case) to protect from electric shock It works by connecting live, nuetral and earth cables in an electrical product to the live, neutral and earth feed usually located in the socket in the wall. Im no electrician but I hope this helps in some way. Strange question why the need to know.

Unless you meant a sink plug. but then again they are usually metal and plastic but try not to get the sink anywhere near electricity especially if there is water in it
