And the AFCI feature is built into the circuit breaker; correct?

Cos many bedside lamps etc. have two (usually now polarized) wire
plugs often plugged into duplex outlets behind beds and other

Reminds me also; have a defective (open circuit) duplex GFCI outlet in
wall of outside shed I must replace.

Thanks for any AFCI info.
