What is the potential difference of 12 and 120 volts?

The potential difference of 120 volts and 12 volts is 108 volts.


Which leg is 208 on 3 phase power?

On three phase 208 volts one leg does not have the potential of 208 volts. It takes two legs to provide the 208 volts. The potential is across AB, BC and CA. Voltage to the grounded neutral A-N, B-N and C-N will produce a potential of 120 volts. In a wye configured secondary three phase four wire you have the potential of 120/208 volts.


How many volts flow through a typical home electrical outlet?

Seeing that the question comes from North America the most common duplex receptacle has 110 - 120 volts potential to ground. The second most common potential difference is 220 - 240 volts. These voltages are obtained from a 120/240 volt system common to home connections from the local utility companies.


Why neutral to ground voltage is 0v sometime 120 v in same connection?

When the neutral is connected to the ground they are at the same potential which is zero volts. If the neutral gets disconnected from the ground then a potential of 120 volts will be measured from the open neutral to ground. This voltage is being measured from the neutral side of the load that is on the circuit. because they are actually the same cable at sub station, but split by the time they come to the board, long answer involved but that's the jist of it!


Kitchen range which is 220 volts but their is only 110 volt outlets as power throughout the house no 220 outlets.?

your outlets work on AC current(alternating) meaning it cycles from -120 volts to +120 volts 60 times a second.... there are two phases in your house at 180degrees of electrical separation(meaning that while one phase is +120 the other is at -120, +90 -90.. etc etc assuming they are phased properly. so.... from -120 to 0(120 volts of difference in potential) then from 0 to +120(120v diff in potential) you get 240 volts for your stove. Im sorry i did this explanation with Canadian voltages and not American(110 vs 120 and 220 vs 240)


What is 50 percent of 120 volts?

50% of 120 volts = 50% * 120 = 0.5 * 120 = 60 volts


Using 120 volts at 12 amps is the same power as what amps at 220 volts?

6 amps.


150 volts is what percent of 120 volts?

150 / 120 = 1.251.25 x 100 = 125answer:125%150 volts is 125 percent of 120 volts.


Are the outlet in America the same as Australia?

Why are the outputs of AC generators multiples of 120 volts - like 120 volts and 240 volts and 480 volts?

It is simply a product of standardization.


What is the difference between 120 and 240 volts?

voltage is the PUSH on electrons seriously 120 volts is the difference of 240...Simply said 240 volts is 2 times as strong as 120 volts.
