What website shows the values of resistance, voltage, and current in certain appliances?
I need to find all 3 of those for 5 different appliances and prove the equation I = V/R. Any websites that list these specs on appliances, couldn’t find this on sites like Best Buy.

What is this black smudgy film on my white appliances?
I have a new refrigerator, dishwasher, bottle sterilizer and a dirty diaper can… they all are getting this black film on them and they are all white. It comes off with a wet paper towel but Im worried as to why this keeps coming back. Could this be something in the air in my house or is this common with white appliances? I read it could be from candles or carbon. Does anyone have experience with this?

Is it possible to run electrical appliances from the telephone socket?
I’ve been puzzling over this and hope someone who’s knowlegable about telephone lines can shed some light. I would appreciate serious answers please. Please do not hesitate to be technical if you have to, thanks! Is it true that the telephone sockets in our house can actually supply enough electrical power to run appliances? If so, what is the typical load it can supply? Is there an chance that I can overload the telephone socket? What would be the consequence of overloading the telephone socket? Would it affect the whole neighbourhood’s telephone network? If using electrical apliances from a telephone socket were possible, then I have another question. So the electrical power from a telephone socket is not metered is it? If that were true, wouldn’t I be able to run appliances using the telephone socket as a power source without paying for electrical bills? Would the telephone network company be able to register an unusually higher load on the telephone sockets from my house? Please take my question seriously. The reason I’m asking is because I have come across electrical appliances being sold on the internet that is meant to be run from a telephone line. For example I came across a LED table lamp that runs from the electrical current of a telephone socket. If you don’t believe me, just search google. Manufacturers really make such appliances that run from telephone sockets

How important is it that brand names of appliances match in a kitchen if they are the same color?
I have to buy a new frige and stove for my new house. There is already a stainless steel dishwasher in there. So I am getting a stainless frige and stove. The appliances will all be lined up along the same wall. Should I try to get the frige and stove of the same brand or is it only the color that matters?
