What is the problem if the receptacle has 120V on a volt meter but when you plug in a light in the socket the volt meter drops to 25V?

Answer --- Most likely the plug is connected wrong, instead of the connecting to the power lines it was connected in series with some lights with 3 times the wattage. When using the meter it will read the potential voltage which is the line voltage of 115 volts but when you plug in the a light, now you completed the circuit adding this light to the other light/s. The reason you get 25 volts is because you are reading the voltage drop of the light that you just pluged in.

Where 25 volts? Because the other lights are 3 times higher in wattage give or take. From: bmetong.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
