Can someone please help me through the following line of reasoning:
AC current travels 2-3 miles from a transfer station at 220 volts, enters my home into a distribution/circuit breaker box, travels through 45 feet of 12 gauge solid copper wire at 110 volts to a plug in my wall, into which I place a 3-foot long power cord.....
How can this 3 feet of power cord transform the electrons that have come so far into some magical source of electricity for my components? It does not take much metal-to-metal connectivity to provide 100, 200, or 300 volts into a device.....
