What happens when you connect a load ie... both terminals of a lamp plug to a single 110V hot wire?

If the load is not grounded and has no connection to neutral then nothing should happen. This begs the question of why you would do such a thing. If you touch any metal part on the load you will likely get a shock.

What happens if a 110V masseur is connected to 230V source?
May get damage due to high amperage.
Can you be hurt by 110v?

What happens when you connect a 240 v lamp to 110 v outlet?
It is not uncommon to find ratings on appliances of 110v,115v,120v,125v depending on where it was manufactured. Typically these ratings allow a tolerance of + or- 10%, meaning an appliance with a 110v rating may be plugged into a source that provides between 99v and 121v.
You have an old Gould 2hp elect motor that you want to switch from 230v to 110v The existing connections do not match directions in earlier question and suggested 110v connections differ from mtr diag?
2 HP, A-C Single phase, 115/230 volt motor. And you wish to operate it on 115V. First the circuit size would need to be a min. of 30amp/ #10wire.... Being a Gould is this a pump/motor? I ask because single phase pump motor are not reversible, so they have less leads to connect..Is the motor thermaly protected (check name plate) Again less leads to connect if not therm-protected. How many lead motor is it, and what are the leads #. If it is 4 leads and # t1,t2,t3,t4 connect line1 to t1 and t3 connect line2 to t2 and t4. Let me know what the # are and how many leads their are.. I would not operate a motor that large on 115V, (1HP is about max on 115V)
What causes a 220v wire to pull only 110v?
The fact that it's supposed to. Voltage is stated as the difference between the two wires carrying electricity to the load. When they bring power to the house from the utility, you get two wires carrying 110v but they're 180 degrees out of phase. Imagine one carries positive 110v and the other carries negative 110v. If you hook one of these wires plus a neutral (zero volts) to the load, you get 110v--110v over 0v. If you hook both of them to the load, you get positive 110v over negative 110v, or 220v. So...red to white is 110v, black to white is 110v, red to black is 220v.
What happens when you connect a 110 volt motor to 220 volts?
On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.
Why are you applying 110V instead of 220V while finding Rth in thevenin's theroem?
by applying 110v at the output terminals by closing switch s2 to 'dd' .read the voltmeter(v) and ammeter(I) and get Rth=V/I.
If I connect 110v xbox one to a 220v outlet what will burn will the power supply burn or will the Xbox one burn?
If you connect 110V xbox one to a 220V outlet, only the power supply will burn and not the Xbox one.
How do you connect 380V motor on three phase line 110V?
There are no three phase 120 volt systems.
How do you wire 240V straight blade outlet when both screws are brass?
Both screws are brass because in the US you need two hots to get 220V. In a 220V only circuit you do not connect the neutral, only two hots and a ground. This is why 220V breakers are twice as wide as 110V and have two terminals instead of one.

Can a system has 220v ac L and neutral can be possible two hot leg 120v ac be used?
yes. on most marine and offshore rigs you can connect 22volt rated system L and neutral to 2 hot connection. 110v on L and 110v on neutral.
How do you get two 110v lines from a single 220V disconnect?
No. Freinds don't let freinds do shabby electric work. Do it right.
Is there any way to connect four 1500-watt heaters to 120V if they are currently connected to 240V and being used as a makeshift hobby oven?
No. If the heaters are designed for 220V they cannot fun off of 110V. Also running a 1500W heater off of 110V would require a dedicated circuit. So four 1500W heaters would require 4 dedicated 110V circuits.
