Its not a part of the line but a different component in the circuit called the transformer. The step down transformer is responsible for reducing the voltage that is brought to it from the company main line. It follows the law of electromagnetic induction.

Have 160 volts electrical plugs?

In North America there are no plugs that are rated for 160 volts. The voltage rating on electrical devices for residential and commercial are 300 and 600 volts respectively.


Can power be amplify?

I am not sure what exactly you expect. No: You can't violate the Law of Conservation of Energy. Yes: An electrical signal can be amplified - if you provide the power to do that from some source. Also, without input of additional energy, with a transformer you can increase the voltage (while reducing the current), or increase the current (while reducing the voltage).


Do dry leather gloves have electrical resistance?

Yes, dry leather has an electrical resistance of around 100kOhm, enough to protect from residential voltage, but much less than what you would want for distribution voltage. However, the resistance of leather falls dramatically (up to 95%) when damp, so rubber gloves are always required when working around high voltage.

How does the resistors work in a integrated circuit?

A resistor implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. It works in an integrated circuit by reducing current flow, and to lower voltage levels within circuits.
