How many electrical outlets required in a room?

Answer 1

Most standard household outlets are rated to handle up to 15 amps current. A 20 amp 120V outlet has a 'sideways T' looking slot for one of the prongs. That way you can plug in a standard plug, which requires less than 20 amps, or a special 20 amp plug, with one of the prongs sideways.

Answer 2

The number of electrical outlets required in a room depends on the size and layout of the room. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have an outlet every 6-8 feet along the walls. However, it is always best to consult with an electrician to ensure you have an adequate number of outlets to meet your specific needs.
