Electricity.
220 volts. In the US.
who invented the clothes dryer that used heat from the stove
Usually 220 to 240 VAC.
G T Sampson invented the clothes dryer
You bet it will.
It's important to first check the electrical requirements for the clothes dryer and compare them to the fuse box capacity. If both the electric stove and clothes dryer require a similar voltage and amperage, you may need to hire a professional to install a new dedicated circuit for the dryer. Avoid overloading the existing circuits without proper guidance as it can be a safety hazard.
208 to 240 volts depending on your local power supply.
on the stove, oven microwave, a heater, the sun, and dryer
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.
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.
no, they are not connected however if gas is an option it is usually cheaper and most electric dryers require a special high voltage outlet. if you do not already have one installed it maybe best to go with the gas you have to weigh out the prices of installation. ie moving gas line if needed, installing 240v outlet (most cities require permit and licensed electricians $$$), and price of buying proper dryer good luck :)
