does the inspector have to inspect plumping or electrical at all?

Ususally after the footings and foundation are poured, then again after framing and rough work is done, and then a final when the drywall is finished.
It may vary, depending on your local inspection policy. Best way to know is just call and ask them.

There could be several inspections. First will be for the foundation or footings the structure will go on. Then the rough framing, rough electrical, and rough plumbing. By rough, I mean, wires and pipes run to where the fixtures, outlets, lights etc will be. The final inspection will be after everything is complete. Talk to your local inspectors when you get your permits. They will give you more details on the specific requirements. Follow their instructions. If you skip an inspection, they can make you tear out a new wall to check the wiring or plumbing behind it.

Your jurisdiction will give you a list of inspections when you get your permit. It will include how and when to call for inspection. You loan source may also require a different set of inspections. If you don't have a loan and are not required to have a permit, there will likely not be any required inspections. If this is the case, you may still want to get an inspection service/independent contractor at critical points for your own information and for a record for resale.

It varies within the area you live in. Some inspectors are so busy they may make a "drive by" or they may spend the day at your place or, even send out separate people for each individual inspection. You can't rely or count on anything.
You may contact someone that had recent work and ask them what the procedure was for them but, don't count on that either.

It always varies from time, area to Home Inspectors. It better to ask a near by recognized Home Inspection Company.
