Volts
there both different countries
Power supply voltages vary with the amount of load placed on them. In many countries the supply voltage has a nominal voltage and a plus or minus tolerance. In the UK the nominal voltage is 230 v but the allowable variation is -6% +10%, in other words 216-253. At my house the voltage is usually between about 236 and 253 volts.
Line voltage is understood as the voltage that the device or appliance needs to operate on. It is also referred to as the devices working voltage. Once the proper line voltage or working voltage is applied to the device it may be transformed to different voltages for different internal component circuits.
The voltage source that is applied to them is the difference between AC and DC light bulbs.
No.
if you are traveling out of the country a voltage converter is a neccessity. Because a lot of other countries use electricity on a different voltage.
Generators generate and transformers step up or step down the voltage
voltage and frequency both are different quantity.. don't mix it...
Voltage Tarnsformer transforms only voltage. While power transformer transforms both voltage and current.
voltage = the electrical "pressure"current = the electrical "movement rate" or "flow rate"
Scroll down to related links and look at "AC voltage and frequencies in the world".
It varies in different countries round the world but most use 240 volt mains.
Volts
A short circuit is an abnormal connection between two nodes intended to be at different voltages. A voltage circuit is caused intentionally for the purpose of voltage sensing. A ground circuit occurs between a phase and the ground.

In this circumstance, the clearance between components at different potential must be increased.
