Are Crocodile clips and Alligator clips the same?

Alligator clips and Crocodile clips are the same thing, using either term is correct, and most people will know what you are talking about if you use either term.

How do crocodile clips work?

A crocodile clip (also alligator clip) is a sprung metal clip with long, serrated jaws which is used for creating a temporary electrical connection. Functioning much like a spring-loaded clothespin, the clip's tapered, serrated jaws are forced together by a spring to grip an object.
