Although it would be electrically safe, you probably don't want to do this, as it would give off very little light, far less than 1/2 of the rated amount of light.
Yes
no
It won't run.
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
No, unless the motor was wound for dual voltage operation, which it will state on the motor nameplate, a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts will be damaged.
No, a 240 volt string of Christmas lights is designed to be used with a 240 volt socket. Plugging it into a 110 volt socket may damage the lights and pose a safety hazard. Be sure to always use lights with the correct voltage rating.
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.
If you mean 110/240, yes, but there may be a hidden switch to switch it to 240 volt mode. Check the manual.
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.
