In My House I Am Facing The Leakage Probe Give Me The Solution

Can a gas diffuse in a gas?how about a gas in a liquid?give example?

diffusion is the movement of paricle from a region of higher conc. to a region of lower conc. therefore a gas can diffuse in a gas if either one is conc. in one point and the same goes for gas in liquid

example: u can smell the fart of someone else even though he's sitting at the other end. that's because his fart diffused into the air you breathe in.

What would happen if water gets into your outlet and then you plugged something in without drying it?

I’’m not fully qualified to answer this question, however I will attempt, due the fact that I have a decent amount of home electrical wiring knowledge.There are a couple of aspects we have to clarify first:1)We first have to clarify what you mean by “water getting into the outlet”. Was it just a drop of water that “shpritzed” in to the outlet, or is the outlet saturated in water.2) Was the outlet GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) protected? Those are usually found in kitchens, bathrooms, outdoors & any where that water is prone to get into the electrical path. They are usually identifiable by the black and red buttons on the face of the outlet. GFCI protected outlets, may also be standard outlets that are connected to special breakers at the breaker panel.3) Is there water pooled up outside the outlet as well?!If there is water pooled up outside the outlet STAY AWAY! The water may be energized and touching it can prove to be fatal!Now assuming there is NO water pooled up outside the outlet:If the outlet was GFCI protected; even if a tiny drop of water would get into the outlet, the circuit breaker would kick-in and cut the power instantaneously. Additionally it would not let you reset it until the water is dried out and does not pose any threat.So with a GFCI outlet the question is essentially moot.Let’s tackle the question when dealing with an outlet that is not GFCI protected.If it is just a small amount of water (a “shpritz” ) it is usually not enough for the water to connect the “positive” line to the “neutral” line, thus it would not create a short circuit thereby energizing the water. In that case there is usually no danger.If a significant amount of water did get into the outlet (and there is NO WATER POOLED UP OUTSIDE THE OUTLET) the situation may pose a bit more of serious threat. It may create sparks and in best case scenario short circuit the line causing the breaker to pop. Or in worse case scenario create a fire. Even if any of the above doesn’t happen it may cause damage to sensitive electrical equipment plugged in to the outlet.PLEASE NOTE: The above is for informational purposes only!
