Two-Prong Plugs: Why It's Missing a PinIt's not a defect; it's a built-in safety feature.

Ever wondered why some of your devices have a two-prong plug while others have three? The answer lies in a clever safety design called "double insulation." Appliances with plastic casings, like shavers or phone chargers, use their non-conductive bodies as a second layer of protection. This makes the third grounding pin unnecessary, as there's no risk of the outer part becoming electrified. So, that missing prong is actually by design.
