How do I test an electrical socket?
<|assistant|>
To test an electrical socket, you'll need a multimeter and an appliance that requires a standard household outlet, such as a lightbulb. Begin by attaching one side of the multimeter to the appropriate port, then connect the other side to one prong of the plug. Next, plug the bulb into the socket and attach the other prong of the plug to the multimeter. Make sure the reading indicates 110-125V, the standard voltage used in the United States. If the reading is incorrect, or you get a reading of 0V, the socket may be bad and should be replaced.
