If the line voltage is dropped let say to 180V will it not affect my KWH bills to electricity company?

An electrical appliance will only operate at its rated power at its rated voltage. If that rated voltage is, say, 230 V, and the appliance is operated at 180 V, then it will operate at a substantially-reduced power.
Since energy is the product of the appliance's power and the time for which it is operated, then the amount of energy used will be reduced and the energy bill will be reduced accordingly.

How does water affect the voltage of electricity?
when water is poured in to a cicuit it acts as a condutor wich conduct electricity and increases current of the curcuit whish causes the wires too melt and over heat, burning the curcuit.
Does static electricity affect objects?
Yes, static electricity does affect objects.
Which of the following factors does not affect the voltage produced in a voltaic cell?
Voltage is not stoichiometric, so increasing the number of moles of a substance will not affect its voltage.
Does a food's liquid content affect it's voltage?
I'm sorry, but food is not usually associated with voltage. Voltage, actually electro-motive force, is a measure of the "pressure" of electricity in a circuit. (You can measure EMF in Volts where there is no closed circuit, but the voltmeter itself provides a closed circuit during measurement).
How does a transformer affect the electricity coming into a home?
The transformer provides the electricity at the right voltage for the house. In all countries it makes sense for all the houses to be fed with the same voltage, which simplifies the market for electrical applicances. Most countries use a standard voltage in the range 100-125 v or 220-240 v. The electrical energy has to be transmitted over long distances at a higher voltage unless you want to live next to a generator, so the transformer changes the voltage from a higher voltage like 6600 v to the correct voltage for the house, e.g. 230 v.

In what ways can electricity discharge cause harm to you?
An electrical discharge: * Can burn you * Stop your heart from beating * Affect your brains operation * (For very high voltage and amperage) blow off parts of your body
How did increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect the action potential?
Increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect action potential mainly because increasing the current will automatically increase the voltage.
How does electricity affect fruit flies?
Quite,simply electricity affect fruit flies by electricitying them.Any insect that enters a bug zapper is instantaneously electrified by electricity
