AC power plug

An AC power plug is a connector that links an electrical device to the main power supply in your home or building. It typically consists of metal prongs or pins that fit into a matching socket, allowing electricity to flow safely from the outlet to the device. AC (alternating current) power means the electrical current changes direction periodically, supplying the standard household energy used for appliances, lights, and electronics. The plug ensures a secure, reliable connection and often includes safety features to prevent accidental shocks or electrical faults during use.
