230 for Europe
in Australia most homes are single phase 240 volts but when measured with a multi meter sometimes you get readings of between 230 and 250 volts
Rarely... Electrical companies reduce the voltage to save money on generating power. Most electrical equipment will still operate even if the voltage is within 5% of its rating. For example - in the UK, our mains voltage is rated at 240V, however - the actual voltage supplied is 230V.
When things are connected in parallel, they all get the same mains voltage. When you connect things in series the voltage they get depends on the number of units in the series. Household appliances all need mains voltage so all electrics deliver this. (Apart from connecting up batteries, nearly all electrics are set up in parallel mode).

230 for Europe
230 / 240 volts
AC voltage is 220v in Germany.Normal household appliances are 240v, some dual phase appliances such as cookers are 400v.
In the UK the mains voltage is 240 volts
Everything that is plugged into the mains socket and switched on will use electricity even if it's a battery charger with no batteries in. So yes they do draw electrical power from the mains.
The mains voltage is 230 volts, and the frequency is 50Hz.

220V
Same as the US and Canada, 110 V. However it has an electrical frequency of 50 Hz, which is 60 Hz in the US and Canada.
