Electric cooker switches

Arran Cameron
I hope that this doesn't come across as a daft question...


Why do most electric cooker switches have an in-built socket? Do analogous cooker switches exist in other countries that use different types of mains sockets?


I used to think that the socket was for plugging in a gas cooker electric ignition, but there is no real reason for having a separate circuit from the ring main for this.

    I don't know that much about mutual resistance between two parallel conductors/cols although I'm aware that you could set up a situation generating negative mutual resistance where the outcome is less than expected.

    I was thinking in terms of the safety aspect, Lets say, leaving a steel serving spoon resting across two induction hobs in the switched on condition. As the plates are only generating inductive current through the pans when they come into contact with the induction plates.


    Seems rather  dangerous to me in the hands of the careless.
