If you use a UK 240v to 110v yellow transformer and plug in to us 230v 60hz what happens?

It depends on the device itself. If it is an ordinary light bulb or the filament type, it may glow very lightly and it will convert electricity to heat rather than light.
If your device is an electrical motor, it will draw more current than normal and will probably burn out.

What happened if you connect 230V to secondary of transformer whose voltage rating is 230V to 18V?
if you drove the 18V winding with 230V the transformer would burn out, if it didn't catch fire first
How do you reduce a 230v ac transformer to produce 140v ac?
By using step-down transformer
Why voltage of transformer go up beyond the set voltage when carrying out transformer test?
Transformers without regulators in them will output voltage depending on the voltage coming in. For instance if you have a 230v to 110v transformer then you will have a ratio of 23:11 this means for every 23 turns in the transformers primary side you will get 11 turns on the secondary, so if you have an input voltage of 247v then the output voltage will be around 118v, conversly if you have an inout voltage of 221v then the ouplut voltage will be around 106v.
Will using a transformer to convert 230V to 12V DC consume more energy than using a few capacitors and resistors without a transformer?
no, the transformer is much more efficient <><><> HOWEVER- a transformer only changes the voltage of AC current- it does not change it to DC. You will still need diodes or rectifiers. You can also use a motor/generator- a 230v AC motor turns a 12 v DC generator.
How do you go from 208v to 230v?
You need a step up transformer unfortunately. Buy an Ugly's book electrical reference book. They're great and there is a transformer chart in there that will list the proper size or Kva that you will need according to your amperage need.
What happens if a 110V masseur is connected to 230V source?
May get damage due to high amperage.

Can cell phones charge on both 110V and 230V?
Yes, if you have the appropriate adapter

Construct a circuit of 230v to 12v converter other than a transformer?
NO
How is 11kv convert to 230v?
The higher voltage it transformed to a lower voltage by the use of a step down transformer.
What happens when you pass a 230V ac supply to a man and what happens when you pass 230V dc supply to a man?
He dies.
What happens when a 230V dc series motor supplied by 230V ac?
it will not run
Convert 230v to 5v with out using transformer?
Why are you asking someone to do your homework for you? Ask your teacher.
How do you wire a 4 lead 230v to a 3 lead 230v terminal?
connect the Red Yellow blue phases
Is it safe to run a 230 volt with 110 electric?
No a 230 volt appliance should not be pluuged into a 110 volt socket (And vice versa) you need to buy a converter that can be plugged into the 110 volt outlet then the appliance can be plugged into the converter.
