Use a voltmeter. The normal choices in the US are 120 v and 240 v. If there is no voltmeter, use an ordinary cheap 60 watt lamp. If the lamp lights normally, the outlet has the voltage marked on the bulb. If it's too dim, the outlet has a lower voltage. If it flashes and dies, it's a higher voltage (I said use a cheap lamp).

What is the electrical voltage from the house outlet to the power?
260 volts
What A voltage source such as a?
A voltage source is anything that provides a voltage; for example a cell or battery, or an electrical outlet in your home.
What type of output signal most often used by computers in automotive vehicles?
electrical pulses of varying voltage. the computer interprits the pulse lenght and voltage to determine what is happening electrical pulses of varying voltage. the computer interprits the pulse lenght and voltage to determine what is happening
Why would one electrical outlet be lower voltage than all the others?
because the circuit has to many outlets on it
What limits the output of an electrical generator?
The amount of voltage of an electrical generator will determine the limit of the output of energy. If the voltage is too high, it can burst the pipes causing it to shut down.
An example of a voltage source is a?
battery A generator electrical outlet solar panel wind turbine or any source a voltage can be obtained.
What is a live outlet?
An outlet that is at voltage. A dead outlet will not have zero voltage, thus cannot provide power.
Why is an electrical outlet electrical?
Because it has electricity flowing to the outlet.
What is 240v?
the voltage of the mains electricity in the UK
What is the definition of a 110v outlet?
A 120 V outlet is the standard residential and commercial electrical outlet for North America. When additional electrical power is needed, other outlet options are available, but typically, one or more duplex (meaning double, or two outlets) receptacle is installed in every residential and commercial room.
Which of these can be a hazard involving an electrical outlet?
to many electrical cords plugged into one outlet
Is there any digital type of ener.... means like in calculators electrical energy is converted into digital energy......?
No, there's no such thing as "digital energy". The calculator simply uses electrical energy. However, electronic equipment that are plugged into the electrical outlet (including calculators, radio receivers, computers, and many more) need special adapters to adapt the electrical current as follows:1. The voltage from the outlet, 110 or 220 volt, is way too high. Electronic equipment usually needs voltages somewhere around 3-12 volts. A simple transformer would do, but:2. The voltage for electronic appliances has to be DC. Since the electricity from the outlet is AC, that has to be converted too.No, there's no such thing as "digital energy".
