The most common types are the regular type, where the only over current protection is provided by the breaker panel. the other most common type is the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) This type has a built in "circuit breaker" so when it senses a fault in the circuit it trips-this type is the safest as they are more sensitive than circuit breakers in the breaker panel.

Answer for botanyThe receptacle is the part at the bottom of a flower, that forms the base of the flower, that holds the rest up.Answer for electrical wiringA receptacle is what the plugs of electrical appliances can be plugged into.
No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.
Electrical devices such as plugs, connectors, or cords are typically attached to a receptacle for power supply purposes.
A duplex grounded receptacle is a type of electrical outlet that has two sockets, allowing two devices to be plugged in at the same time. It is grounded to help protect against electrical shocks and is commonly used in homes and commercial buildings for safe electrical connections.
No, the receptacle needs the screws in place to complete the bond between the metal component of the receptacle to the metal component in the receptacle's junction box. This bond is entirely separate from the grounding of the receptacle.

One basic specification that electrical receptacles are based on is the amount of amperage that the receptacle can legally handle. The other basic specification is the amount of voltage that the receptacle can legally handle. This is the reason that there are so many different types to choose from. When buying a receptacle you should be armed with the knowledge of what the voltage is going to be and what the load amperage is going to be to get the proper receptacle. Each receptacle has different pin configurations for voltage and amperage. This is a safety factor so that inter changeability can not happen.

Most of the times yes. If it is an appliance that gets pulled out of a receptacle under load and there is a small arc produced this will not damage the receptacle. It will pit the blades inside the receptacle but not enough to render the receptacle unserviceable It is not recommended to use this method to disconnect electrical equipment, use a switch in the circuit as they are designed to open a circuit under load.

No. The term female receptacle means there is a hole and a male receptacle means it has a pin sticking out.
In North America an ordinary electrical receptacle is rated at 15 amps.
No, the receptacle needs the screws in place to complete the bond between the metal component of the receptacle to the metal component in the receptacle's junction box. This bond is entirely separate from the grounding of the receptacle.
There is no electrical code rule that prevents the installation of an electrical receptacle below a mirror.
