Household appliances usually have a voltage of either 110 or 220 volts; there should be a sticker somewhere that tells you the voltage for specific appliances. Make sure you don't plug it into the wrong voltage. Especially plugging an equipment designed for 110V into an outlet that gives 220V will burn your equipment.

What is the performance like of an electric stove rated for 240V that is connected to a 208V supply?
Not good. The heating elements expect 240 volts. Possible, alternate burners elements can be purchased. (Read contact manufacturer.) Otherwise a buck/boost transformer can increase the voltage to 240 volts and the stove will run fine. Essentialy, 208 volts has 86 % of the energy of 240 volts.
Can you change a dryer plug to fit a regular wall plug?
Different plugs are designed so that you can't plug an appliance into the wrong voltage. A dryer is usually 220-240 Volts and your standard outlet is 110-120 Volts. You can't do what you suggest.
Can a dryer have a 2 prong cord?
This could be a trick question. If it is a gas dryer yes. Hot and neutral without a ground. 110 volts to the dryer motor and controls. Heat coming from gas. If it is an electric dryer no. The heater element requires 240 volts. You could get this from black and red. 2 wires the controls require 110 requiring black and neutral. The dryer wouldn't heat ( the electric heating element.) with only 110 volts. In any case no dryer should operate with only 2 wires. It is the third wire or 4th wire that may save you life. That is the equipment ground conductor, that provides a safe path for electricity to return to ground in case of an malfunction. Save the planet, put out a laundry line, and hang your cloths to dry.
What is good electric power for a house?
If your house has 220vac each leg should have at least 110vac so if you use an electric dryer you would have 110 vac to each leg to run the dryer for outlets and switches it would be the same 110vac volts alternating current to operate electrial devices and to turn the lights on and off.
How many watts does an electric stove use?
It depends on the stove. If you can find the manual, or look up the AMPs it uses. Should be around 50. Multiply 120V if you live in the US. By the number of Amps. That will give you the total amount of watts.

Which household applaince use more power?
You can look at the rating plate on each appliance and see how many watts it is. So for example a 1500 w hair dryer, or an 1100 w microwave oven. A stove and an electric clothes dryer use more than that (but I have gas for those appliances, so I cannot look). A refrigerator would use a lot too, but I cannot see the plate on that one either. If it does not list watts but lists amps, then: Volts * Amps = Watts. Note that the 'big' appliances like the stove and clothes dryer are usually 240 volts, not 120 V.

How much will your electric bill increase if you buy an electric dryer for an average of 5 loads per week?
About $10. Do the math. Amps x Volts = Watts. A typical dryer is 30 amps @ 240 volts. That's 7200 Watts. Average electricity cost is $.07 per 1000 watt-hours. So...if you run the dryer for one hour ...it will use 7200 watt-hours. 7.2 x $.07 = $.50 per hour of usage.
