Can you hook up a 110 volt space heater into wiring that is 220 or will it burn out the heater?
since every home appliance has its own rating on which they run.your heater will burn out or become faulty after sometime
Can you use 9 volt charger for 4.5 volt appliance?
Not w/o great care and consideration. It would probably burn up. :(
If you plug a 120 appliance into a 220 plug what will happen?
You could be in for a "shocking" experience. The 110v device could blow up, catch on fire, short out and injure (possibly fataly) anyone near the device. Just don't do it. Use some common sense around electricity ... it really hurts when it bites.
How does a battery burn out?
A battery burns out by leaving the device that contains the battery on to long of a period of time.
Can you convert an existing 120V plug on an appliance to a 240V plug not speaking of a converter but actually changing the plug so there are no long term effects on the appliance?
If I understand your question, Can you run a 110 appliance off of a 220 volt outlet? You could by only using one leg of the 220. You may also consider changing the outlet. Put in a regular 110 outlet and capping off one leg of the 220 in the wall box. You still have a neutral and a ground to work with. I read this as the questioner doesn't want to modify the outlet. Check the voltage ratings on the device. Many electronic devices nowadays can havdle 120V or 240V as it is cheaper to manufacture one powersupply and sell it everywhere. If your device is rated for 240V, you can put a 240V plug on it. If it only says 120V, no dice. 240V will burn it up.
What happens if you plug a 120V appliance into a 240V outlet?
You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
What happens if a 120 v device pluged in 240 v?
My husband is an electrician and he said there is no reason why you cannot plug a 240v into 220v because they have a tolerance so your 240 v appliance will still run on 220v of power
Can you plug a 3 volt appliance into a 110 outlet?
No, the applied 110 volt is too high for a 3 volt appliance. The appliance would burn out right away.
Are fossil fuels efficient?
It depends on the efficiency rating of the burn appliance.
How do you fix a ruined drawing that got paint on it?
burn it put cat litter on it and rub it off.
What would happen to an appliance that is wired to a 220 circuit when the appliance was actually 110?
It will most likely be damaged beyond repair! Circuit boards will burn out as will motor/relays. And it could start a fire!

How should a burn be treated on a fracture limb?
Dress and bandage the burn before the limb is splinted.
Can you run a us appliance in the UK?
No. Not unless you use a transformer to change the voltage. In the US mains voltage is 110-120 V and the current 60Hz Alternating Current. In the UK and almost all of Europe mains voltage is 230-240 V and the current 50Hz Alternating Current. So, if you attempt to use a US appliance in the UK the voltage, which is at least twice the amount of that in the US will create double the current in the device. This will either immediately blow an internal fuse, or burn the appliance out. In extreme cases it could even cause a fire.

What will happen if instrument with 110v supply voltage give 220 v supply?
the appliance will burn out, eg if it is a 60 watt light bulb it will burn at 120 watt for as long as the fillament can take it and that wont be long
