What else can I help you with?
What is the frequency of household electricity?
In North America, it is 60 Hertz, and in Europe it is 50 hertz.
What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?
Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.
How much electricity in a standard outlet?
In North America 120 volts, in the UK and Europe 240 volts.
What is the domestic voltage?
For many years, mainland Western Europe has used a mains electricity supply rated at nominally 220VAC @ 50Hz, while the UK used 240VAC @ 50Hz. Currently, ALL Western European supplies are classified 230VAC and most other countries follow this. However the US and Canada use 120 V @ 60 Hz.
How many seas are there in Europe?
There are at least six seas that border or surrounded by continental Europe. These include: the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Which European country relies the most on nuclear power for energy?
France relies the most on nuclear power for energy in Europe, with approximately 70% of its electricity generated from nuclear plants.
What is positive about using nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy releases no greenhouse gasses and in comparison with solar energy, it's way cheaper. It also produces cheap electricity, France has the cheapest electricity in Europe and the get almost 80% of their electricity from nuclear power plants. It's also highly sustainable, contrary to what many think. Bernard Cohen proved that we can last billions of years on nuclear energy!
Why does Europe and other countries like japan have more nuclear power plants campared to other types of power?
France produces about 80% of its electricity by nuclear plants, but this is an exception in Europe, most countries with nuclear plants have about 20%, as in the USA. Not sure about Japan, but nuclear appeals there I think because they have little fossil fuels in the country. See www.world-nuclear.org for a more detailed survey.
Which countries build nuclear plant overseas?
Nuclear power results in electricity which enters the grid system of whatever country the power plant is situated in, and thereafter it is just electricity without any tie to where it came from. If one country receives electricity from another where nuclear is operating, then certainly some of that power will have come from nuclear plants. In Europe there are many cross border electric transfers, so this will be happening often. However it's not possible to separate out the sources.
How much nuclear energy will the world use in the future?
I think it will increase from the present 15-20 percent of electricity, perhaps up to 30 percent in the US and Europe, in the next 20 years
Who has Europe's biggest nuclear weapons arsenal?
France.
How many percentage of population of Europe?
About 11% of the world's population is in Europe.
Is Brazil the place where most of the coffee is produced?
No,Europe is the place where coffee is produced.
Where is milk produced mainly?
wisconsin.EDIT:I think milk is mostly produced in Europe.
What is the history of cotton?
Cotton was not usually produced in Europe.Cotton was not usually produced in Europe.Cotton was not usually produced in Europe.
What continents have the most nuclear power plants?
Europe and North America have the most nuclear power plants. France has the highest concentration of nuclear power plants in Europe, while the United States has the highest number of nuclear power plants in North America.
what words start with e?
