Some small stuff - like cellphone chargers - are clever enough to adapt to the voltage they're connected to and will do just fine.

Stuff that isn't will overload and be destroyed.

What would happen if 12 volt only appliance was plugged into 120 volt outlet?

If a 12 volt appliance is connected to a 120 volt outlet, it would likely get damaged due to the excessive voltage. The appliance is designed to run on 12 volts, so the higher voltage could overwhelm and fry its electrical components. It's important to always match the voltage requirements of an appliance with the electrical supply to prevent damage.


If a 120 volt appliance reqires 15amps to operate what is the resistance of the appliance?

The formula you are looking for is R = E/I.


Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?

Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.


Can you plug a 240 volt appliance into a 110 volt system?

The pin configuration of the 240 volt receptacle is different from a 120 volt pin configuration. This is a safety factor to prevent the wrong voltage being applied to the wrong devices.


Can you use a 120 volt appliance in a 110 volt house?

Yes, the two voltages are in the same voltage range.


Can you buy an adaptor to run 120 volt appliance on 240 volts?

Yes, but you are limited to the amount of current draw the 120 volt load can apply to the adapter.


What will happen if 120 volt appliance is plugged into 220 volt outlet explain with electrical equiation?

If the supply voltage is Vs and the equipment voltage is Va, then the equipment will work if Va = Vs (equation). But if Vs / Va = 220 / 120 (equation) the equipment will fail.


Will a 115 volt converter from 240 volts harm a 110 - 120 volt appliance?

The appliaance is designed for 110-120 v so if it is fed at 115 v that is quite OK.


Does a 6 amp 240 volt appliance hook up to 110?

No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.


Can a 240 volt appliance be used in America?

120/240 volts is the working voltage in North America.


Can you plug 120 volt appliances into 127 volt outlet?

because your appliance is connected to the L1(secondary coil1) and your meter reading voltage is on the other coil (secondary2) It is called Mutual Induction ! Between the 2 coils on the secondary side of TRANSFORMER I wish i could draw it out


Can you use 120 volt outlet for a 100 volt appliance?

The safe operating range of voltages for the appliance should be marked on the back, near where the cable enters the device. Using an applicance at an excessive voltage could cause overheating which might destroy the appliance and could cause a fire.
