eli5: How do extension cords work?

265 views

When using extensions cords I find that I feel like there is similar amount of electricity going through it as just plugging a cable into the wall without using an extension cable. When I charge my phone I get similar speeds using either, but surely an extension cord spilts the voltage?

No, it doesn’t split the voltage. It really is just what the name says, an extension. It’s the same as if your phone charger prongs were 10 feet long, but flexible.
