Do monitors require power cables?

This is my first time building a PC: does anyone know if the monitor requires power cables? Also, how long are typical HDMI cables?

Do you mean a power cable from the PSU of your computer? No, monitors have their own power supply and the get supplied by your wall socket.

HDMI cables are usually 3-6ft long.

So, the monitor comes with a power cable? Also thanks for answering the HDMI cable question.

Yes, monitors require the power cables that come with them.

HDMI can be many sizes from maybe 3' to 6 or 10.

Of course - every monitor requires power.
And there is no "typical" length for HDMI cables. You take whatever length you need -
1m, 1.5m, 2m, 3m, 5m, 7m .. up to 15m. Longer cables will require signal amplification.

Correct. Monitors plug into the wall, as I said.

if i unplug the power cable from the wall socket by accident will my monitor shutoff or is the power cable just for the battery of the monitor?

Monitors don't have batteries. It will turn off.
