In alternating current, the line voltage (one side) would be 110 to 120 volts and the neutral side would be 0. However, one side carries current in and the other out so you need both sides to operate correctly and current will flow through the item that is plugged in to the outlet.

What is the potential difference between the two holes in a wall socket?
It is 120V
What is the voltage difference between the two holes in a wall socket?
One of the holes is a power wire and the other is a ground. Without both you have no voltage. As soon as the power wire is grounded either through the other side of the circuit or by some careless human you have 110 volts.

Have a voltage difference across the two holes of an electrical outlet and a generator at a power plant provides this voltage difference?
First of all, let's get the terminology correct -there is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'. 'Voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', so 'voltage difference' would mean 'potential difference difference', which doesn't make any sense! So you should be referring to the voltage across the holes of an outlet, not the 'voltage difference' across those holes.The voltage produced by a generator in the power station produces a much greater voltage (up to 30 000 volts) than the voltage that appears across your outlet (120 V in North America or 230 V in Europe). Furthermore the generator's voltage gets increased even higher (hundreds of thousands of volts) before the electricity transmission can take place. Eventually, those high voltages are reduced, using transformers, until it reaches your outlet.
What is the difference between PGA and LGA?
LGA : Land Grid Array <== pins are in the socket, no pins are attached on the CPU, only pads. PGA: Pin Grid Array <== pins are attached on to the socket, the socket has some sort of "holes" that hold the processor

What is the difference between male and female XLR?
Male XLR connectors have pins or prongs that plug into a female XLR connector, which have corresponding holes or slots to receive the pins. Male connectors are typically used on microphone cables, while female connectors are found on audio equipment like mixers and amplifiers.
