The answer to this is country-specific.
In the United States:
Residential 120 VAC.
Commercial also uses 277 VAC
Elsewhere in the world:
220 volts to 260 volts, most frequently 230-240 volts AC.
No, it is not recommended to use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that specifies a maximum of 25 incandescent watts. CFL bulbs have different wattage equivalencies compared to incandescent bulbs, so you should use a CFL bulb that is equivalent to or lower than the specified incandescent wattage for the fixture. Using a higher wattage CFL bulb can cause overheating and potentially pose a fire hazard.
All track lighting models can use CFL bulbs. The important thing is that you get the correct CFL bulb as you must get the CFL bulbs that are designed for base up use like you find in track lights, pendant lights and recessed lighting. If the track lights are dimmable you also want to be sure to get a dimmable CFL bulb.
The watts determine how much energy is taken and how much heat is produced. You need to look at the lumens to see how much light is produced. CFLs produce 4-5 times more lumens than incandescent bulbs, or 3-4 times more than halogens, for the same power in watts.
The power consumption is lower on CFL lamps. Result, you save money operating them.
Yes. You can always use a light that uses LESS than the rated capacity of the fixture, just don't use a bulb that is rated at MORE than the rated capacity. The 13 Watt CFL uses LESS than the rated 40 Watts... so it's safe. ............. Unless the light fixture is connected to a dimmer. Most florescent bulbs don't work with most dimmers. Look for a note on the dimmer like; " suitable for florescent lights" or on the bulb "suitable for use on dimmers"

HELICAL 13W 120VAC 60Hz 180mA13W means 13 watts cfl...... =40 watt incadescent.
A single bulb is better if you can get it, it's simpler to use, but 23 watt bulbs are easier to find. Five 23 w bulbs totals 115 watts so they would be a little brighter.
Use 100 watts
60 watts. The ballast also uses this same amount

Look at the base. The power rating will be printed there.
