To convert a 240 volt power source to a 120 volt power source using a 240 volt to 120 volt adapter, simply plug the adapter into the 240 volt outlet and then plug your 120 volt device into the adapter. The adapter will step down the voltage from 240 volts to 120 volts, allowing you to safely power your device. Make sure the adapter is rated for the appropriate wattage to avoid damaging your device.
The pin configuration of the 240 volt receptacle is different from a 120 volt pin configuration. This is a safety factor to prevent the wrong voltage being applied to the wrong devices.

'Voltage' is electromotive force, and the 'Watt' is a unit of power. You can plug a 240 watt appliance (light, toy, radio etc) into a 120 volt socket as long as the appliance is rated for 120 volt AC operation.
240
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
no
no
You will only get a secondary voltage of half of what it is supposed to be. This is a hypothetical question because a 120 volt plug (cap) will not fit into a 240 volt receptacle. The pin configurations will not align up.
No, it is not possible to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply directly. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts. Attempting to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply without a transformer can damage equipment and pose a safety hazard.
Potato. Not really a question is it?
One has an element designed to work on 120 volts, the other has an element designed to work on 240 volts.
