Yes, but I do not know of an adapter per se. Expose your 220V power lines. There should be two hot wires (black and red). They can technically be split apart and wired to two separate 110V outlets, but the neutral wire would have to be shared (not split, shared), same with the ground wire.
AnswerDon't do this. It is a hack and doesn't meet code. Just run the right wire.No, you will burn up the 115 volt appliance very quickly.

The pin configuration of the 240 volt receptacle is different from a 120 volt pin configuration. This is a safety factor to prevent the wrong voltage being applied to the wrong devices.
No. The device will only have half the voltage it needs and will not operate properly. Follow the ratings on the device.

Definitely not. The plug would be the wrong type anyway, so there is physical block to doing what is suggested, but other than that excess current would flow, you would hope for the fuse to blow, and if that did not happen the thing could catch fire.
In general the answer is no. This is due to the different pin configuration between 120 volt and 240 volt plugs (caps). This is done for safety reasons so that your question can not happen.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY

110 volt and 220 volt is an old standard the manufacturing companies never let go of. The generated voltage has been stepped up to 120 and 240 volts respectively. so Yes 220 volt and 240 volt is the same thing. Always consult a professional when installing electrical equipment.
It can't....

There is a little adapter which does this for you. It is available in Canada and CSA certified. It is available at Home Depot. Just plug it into the 240 volt outlet and you now have a 120 volt outlet, which is protected by its own internal 15 amp fuse. This device is to be used for one specific use only and that is to safely convert an electric range outlet when a gas ranges is replacing the electric range. Gas ranges need a 120 volt supply to operate and this device is used so that the range receptacle can supply the needed 120 volt supply. See related linksbelow.
Typically only on dedicated circuits for certain appliances like an electric dryer or hot water heater, electric oven or stove, resistance heating or perhaps central air conditioning. If there are 240 volt receptacles they are different than 120 volt receptacles so that you can't make a mistake and plug a 120 volt appliance into a 240 volt circuit.Answer 2Some countries use 115 Volts AC for household supplies, some use 220, 230 or 240 Volts AC.See the link below for a list of which countries use which voltage.
If your electrical service is only 120 volts you have a problem. There is no way that you can connect a 240 volt cook top to that service. You have two options, one is to upgrade to a new 120/240 volt electrical service. Your other option is to find a 120 volt electrical cook top.
Yes, the rating on the receptacle is the maximum amount of voltage that is legally allowed to be applied to the device.

You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.
12 Volts DC
It won't get to temperature very well, but you probably can use it. It is called a kiln in the English language not ceramic oven.
No conversion needed. These are nominal voltages which range from 110 to 120 volts. It will operate fine on the outlet.
Add another leg of 120 to a three pole breaker.
115 Volt and a 110 Volt can be treated as the same thing. The electrical voltage supplied from your electric company is not exact and can be 120 Volt + or - 10%.

If a motor is designed to run on different voltages there will be a wiring diagram on motor plate for 120 volt wiring. If not you will have to use a step up transformer to convert 120 V to the higher voltage.
Yes, the rating on the receptacle is the maximum amount of voltage that is legally allowed to be applied to the device.
