the height will depend on local building codes' requirements and also what time of outlet (ground, countertop for kitchen and bath, and ceiling such as in garage doors). Typically wall outlets are 16 inches on center from the finish floor.

The electrical code does not state an exact height. Common distances from the floor to a wall receptacle is 12" to center. Wall switches are usually placed at 48" to center.

Electric wall socket stopped working why?

Try checking your breaker panel for a tripped breaker, sometimes they can trip and it appears to be on still, to be sure turn off all single breakers completely to the off position to reset and then back to the on position. or There could be a switch controlling that paticular recepticle also, so check all switches in the area to be sure that its not just turned off. Sometimes recepticles are wired as (half hots) which means that half of the recepticle is always hot and the other half is switched. Also they can switch the entire recepticle with a switch(both sockets or halves). finnally The connections in one of the boxes between the recepticle and the breaker could be loose preventing power from getting to the recepticle. If this is the case you will need an electrician to locate the loose wire.
