Voltage varies in different countries; usually the voltage is either 110 or 220 volt. It may even vary within a country; for example, most of Bolivia uses 220 V, but La Paz - the government seat - uses 110 V.

Frequency may also vary, being 50 Hz. in some countries, and 60 Hz. in others.

Is the heating value of natural gas different in different countries?

Natural gas comes out of the ground. As a product of nature, natural gas is not the same from country to country. Methane is the main component, but metane's percentage can vary between 80% and 95%. Others hydrocarbons' percentage (for example ethane, propane, butane etc) also vary. Since heating value depends on the percentage of the hydrocarbons, heating value also varies.


Is CAS for chemical number different for each country?

Yes, the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number is a unique identifier assigned to every chemical substance, and it is consistent worldwide. This means that a specific chemical will have the same CAS number regardless of the country. However, regulations or classifications related to chemicals may vary between countries, but the CAS number itself remains the same internationally.


How can you stabilize a fluctuating voltage?

You can reduce the voltage fluctuations by first determining what is causing them, then counteracting this cause. In small circuit designs with multiple switching amplifier and ICs, the power or ground lines may become noisy due to this switching. Placing capacitors at the ICs power and ground can reduce this to manageable levels in most cases. Sometimes it can become necessary to isolate specific circuit's power and ground from the system using small inductors as well. If you are designing a power supply, zener diodes, and isolated power outputs (at the same or different voltages) can be used.


How do you differentiate FM from PM signal?

A: FM means frequency Modulation meaning the frequency remain the same. pulse modulation the frequency can vary

How many amps are in mains power?

In most countries, mains power typically supplies electricity at 120 or 240 volts. The current flowing through mains power can vary depending on the electrical load, but it is typically around 10-15 amps for household circuits.


What is the voltage a frequencies of mains electicty?

It depends on where you live, as most countries have their own standards. In the UK, for example, the nominal (named) mains voltage is 230 V, but it is allowed to vary between +10% and -6%. The nominal frequency of this voltage is 50 Hz, and this is allowed to vary between +/-1%. In North America, the standard nominal supply voltage is 120 V at 60 Hz.


Color of mains supply Neutral wires?

"White" in US, Canada and countries with similar 60 Hz systems. "Blue" in Europe and countries with similar 50Hz systems. (However "Black" is also commonly installed in UK but this is part of obsolete wiring regulations/wiring code.)
