I have 2 dell laptop computers. One inspiron and one studio laptop. Can i use the power cords from one on both? Both of the male plugs are the same, I think.
 
Check if the power cord / transformers are comparable with each machine.

Power cords / transformers are not always comparable with all machines.

You can damage the batteries by using the wrong transformers.
 
It depends on the power requirements of the computer

The two most popular ones have the same plug, but one is 65 watts and I believe the other is 85 watts. The 65 watt transformer takes about twice as many hours to charger a laptop that requires the higher powered model. It does work though, but will give it a workout (hot)
