How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical point of connection or the supply unit itself, such as a wall socket or a power adapter. While technically correct in formal contexts, everyday speakers often prefer using more specific terms like 插蘇 for a wall outlet or 火牛 for a power brick or transformer.

Common mistake
Avoid using this word when referring to the electricity supply itself, as that is better expressed as 電力 or 電. It is strictly for the hardware component or the source point.
