Type B plug
A Type B plug is a standard electrical plug commonly used in North America and some other countries. It has two flat parallel prongs to carry current and a round or U-shaped grounding prong for safety, preventing electrical shocks if there's a fault. The two flat prongs are for the live and neutral wires, supplying electricity to devices. This design ensures a secure connection and grounding, minimizing risk. Type B plugs are compatible with outlets that have matching sockets, providing a safe and reliable way to connect electrical appliances to power sources.
