Household appliances usually have a voltage of either 110 or 220 volts; there should be a sticker somewhere that tells you the voltage for specific appliances. Make sure you don't plug it into the wrong voltage. Especially plugging an equipment designed for 110V into an outlet that gives 220V will burn your equipment.
Not good. The heating elements expect 240 volts. Possible, alternate burners elements can be purchased. (Read contact manufacturer.) Otherwise a buck/boost transformer can increase the voltage to 240 volts and the stove will run fine. Essentialy, 208 volts has 86 % of the energy of 240 volts.
The maximum amperage that can be applied to a #14 wire is 15 amps. The 600 volts is just an insulation rating. Check the nameplate on the dryer to see what the amperage and voltage the manufacturer recommends. If the nameplate just states a wattage use the following formula to find the amperage. Amps = Watts/ Volts.
It depends on the stove. If you can find the manual, or look up the AMPs it uses. Should be around 50. Multiply 120V if you live in the US. By the number of Amps. That will give you the total amount of watts.
240V is much more effecient, and you can put more heaters on a 20 amp circuit than you can a 120V.
If the dryer is a clothes dryer then the short answer no. If it is a hair dryer then there might be a voltage switch on the handle that allows you to change voltages. If the manufacturer of the clothes dryer specified that it can be operated on dual voltages then it is just a matter of changing a few terminal connections. Check the instruction manual to see what it states there. This is very unlikely though. In North America all clothes dryers need 120/240 volts to operate. The 120 volts is used for the timer relays and for the drum motor, the 240 volts for the heating elements in the dryer. By changing to a higher voltage, it will not speed up the speed up the drying time. It is more likely that if you plug the dryer into the 240 volt receptacle it will burn the 120 volt motor out.
220 volts. In the US.
Usually 220 to 240 VAC.
240 volts
240 Volts. <><><> In USA, Canada and other countries using a similar 60 Hz houshold electricity supply system, they are dual-voltage. Some of their components, such as the timers, use 120 V while the heating element uses 240V.
In North America, the standard is 240V, 60Hz.
208 to 240 volts depending on your local power supply.
You can look at the rating plate on each appliance and see how many watts it is. So for example a 1500 w hair dryer, or an 1100 w microwave oven. A stove and an electric clothes dryer use more than that (but I have gas for those appliances, so I cannot look). A refrigerator would use a lot too, but I cannot see the plate on that one either. If it does not list watts but lists amps, then: Volts * Amps = Watts. Note that the 'big' appliances like the stove and clothes dryer are usually 240 volts, not 120 V.

In the USA houses would have 120/240 volts. 120 volts at most receptacles and lights and 240 volts for larger equipment like your stove, dryer, hot water heater.
A dryer outlet typically has a voltage of 240 volts. When working with a dryer outlet, it is important to turn off the power at the circuit breaker, use insulated tools, wear protective gear such as gloves and goggles, and avoid touching any exposed wires to prevent electric shock.
Usually 2,000 to 2,200 volts at 7 to 12 amps.
