Generally it is 110 V, 60 Hz (the same as in the USA and Canada).
They do, however, generally use a hybrid plug that will accept either the A/B type "blade" plugs as used in the US and Canada, and also accept the continental Europe-style plugs with round tines (although still with 110V/60Hz, not the European 220V/50Hz).
That said, in some places (especially in hotels) there are also outlets available that provide 220V; these are almost always marked as "220." And, when such outlets exist, they are usually accompanied by 110V outlets (which are either marked "110" or, more commonly, not marked at all).
If in doubt, ask the hotel staff or someone else in charge of the property where you are.
Typical Brazilian outlet (this one is 220): http://www.kropla.com/brazil_power.htm
It really depends on where you are going to visit. Typically the Southern states of Brazil run on 110v, but in the north, where we live (Tocantins) the energy is 220v. The state of Maranhão also uses 220v. As stated above while traveling in Brazil it is best to ask.
The domestic voltage in the USA and Canada is 120v 60Hz, not 110v as you have stated. I know this as my company has imported 120v machines from the USA for years and our customers in the UK run them without problems from a site transformer that gives 110v 50 Hz.
But it is very interesting to learn that in Brazil it is 110v because we have an enquiry from Brazil for a 110v machine (which is why I consulted wiki answers)
AnswerThe voltage in Brazil is either 110 V/ 220 V @ 60 Hz (the US and Canada are 120 V @ 60 Hz). Usually when a country has both voltages, hotels provide sockets for both for convenience. Brazil uses sockets A, B, or C (the US and Canada use A, and B) ( voltageplugregion.com )

∙ 14y agoIt seems that electricity is not standardized in Brazil You will run into both 120v and 240v plugs of both American and European style. the other problem is that the plugs are sometimes interchanged when they should not be. The only constant in Brazil's electric grid is that it operates at 60hz

∙ 9y agoSao Paulo has 220/380 v 3-phase supplies, with many single-phase domestic outlets at 110 v. The frequency is 60 Hz.

What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?
The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.
