Some Dells can be switched as well as other manufacturers. There is a switch on the back of the computer at the power supply that can be switched.
Before you buy any brand make sure that that specific model can be switched if you have that requirement.

If you have a computer which start with 110v so by using converter can the computer starts with 220v?
Yes. If the computer power input is only rated for 110V input, you can power it from 220V by using a voltage converter from 220V to 110V with appropriate wattage. Some computer power supplies also have a switch for setting 110V/220V in which case computer can be powered from 220V after changing the setting. Most of the portable computers/laptops have power adapters which are rated for universal voltage (e.g. my Dell laptop AC adapter is rated for 100-240V 50-60Hz).
Can a computer built in England on 240v work in a country that uses 110v?
Its all in the power supply. If there is a switch that lets you change the input voltage from 240 to 120 then you are fine. Most computers have this switch on the power supply, its located on the back of the computer up by the top. All you will have to do is change the plug on the cord to fit that country's 120 volt receptacle.
Why are you applying 110V instead of 220V while finding Rth in thevenin's theroem?
by applying 110v at the output terminals by closing switch s2 to 'dd' .read the voltmeter(v) and ammeter(I) and get Rth=V/I.

How to use a 220v electronic equipment in USA?
There may be a switch on the equipment to change the input voltage to 110v. Check near where the cord attached to the equipment you're using, it will be a recessed switch.
Can the 12 GB PlayStation 3 console work on either 110V or 220V?
If there is a switch on the power supply that allows you to switch between the two voltages then the answer is yes. If there is no switch then you will need to use a travel voltage adapter to convert one voltage to the other.
What causes a 220v wire to pull only 110v?
The fact that it's supposed to. Voltage is stated as the difference between the two wires carrying electricity to the load. When they bring power to the house from the utility, you get two wires carrying 110v but they're 180 degrees out of phase. Imagine one carries positive 110v and the other carries negative 110v. If you hook one of these wires plus a neutral (zero volts) to the load, you get 110v--110v over 0v. If you hook both of them to the load, you get positive 110v over negative 110v, or 220v. So...red to white is 110v, black to white is 110v, red to black is 220v.
How is 220v water heater rewired to 110v?
Use a transformer to lower from 220 to 110V.
Will Canadian computer components work in UK?
Any computer can be used anywhere in the world... IF the power supply can support the different voltages used around the world. Most computer power supplies will automatically adjust for different input voltages. If your power supply has a red switch on the back that says "110/220V" or "115/230V", you need to make sure you switch it over from 110V or 115V in Canada to 220V or 230V for the U.K. You'll also need a different plug. The electrical sockets they use in the walls in the U.K. are different than what they have in Canada, but any computer store in the U.K. can hook you up with a new power cord for only a few dollars.
220v or 110v which one is best for computer?
Must match the rating on your computer. More typical connection is 110-120VAC. If your computer is rated for 220-240 VAC you would need a different plug. It would draw 1/2 the current at 220 than 110.
Can you replace the 240v plug on my 240v mitre saw with a 110v plug and run it off a 110v transformer?
Changing the plug will not change the power needed to run the saw. If the saw has a dual voltage motor then a wiring change can be done to switch the saw from 240 to 110 volts. If it is not a dual voltage system then the saw must be fed with 220 volts.
Will an American computer with an 800 watt power socket work in a UK 240 volt power supply?
Some do and some don't. You need to check the power supply's specifications. The input voltage and frequency range is normally stated on a label visible from the rear of the computer. Many modern PC power supplies will accept a range of input voltage and frequency, or at least have a switch to chose between 110V/60Hz and 240V/50Hz.
