There are many configurations of plugs and receptacles. The reason for these different configurations is to prevent higher rated amperage devices being inserted into smaller size supplies. In North America there is a NEMA configuration standard that designate the different amperage's and voltages that are allowed to be used for specific purposes.

A slotted socket is used for turning fasteners with a slotted head, such as flathead screws or bolts. The slotted opening in the socket matches the shape of the fastener head, allowing it to be securely gripped and turned.
