Correct answer to question 4014
- D: The shortest path a cord would follow without passing through a wall or door
Explanation
210.8 says the distance is the shortest path the cord of an appliance would follow without piercing a floor, wall, ceiling or fixed barrier, or passing through a door, doorway or window. A receptacle on the other side of a wall may therefore be farther away than it looks.
