What is High Voltage.
100
True or False.
Is it okay to break off a ground plug if you need to fit the plug into an ungrounded outlet
False. NEVER remove the ground pin of a 3-prong plug to fit into a 2-prong outlet always have the outlet changed to match the plug. Removing the ground pin from an adapter or using ungrounded outlets can lead to a fire, shock, or even worse.
