One thing to remember is your 2 socket wall outlet only has 1 wire connected to it going to your breaker box. Everything plugged in just shares the power that one wire can provide, and it’s all arranged in parallel [like this bulb and battery arrangement](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SqtEbjDHlLs/maxresdefault.jpg)
