In alternating current, the line voltage (one side) would be 110 to 120 volts and the neutral side would be 0. However, one side carries current in and the other out so you need both sides to operate correctly and current will flow through the item that is plugged in to the outlet.

What is the voltage difference between the two holes in a wall socket?

One of the holes is a power wire and the other is a ground. Without both you have no voltage. As soon as the power wire is grounded either through the other side of the circuit or by some careless human you have 110 volts.

Have a voltage difference across the two holes of an electrical outlet and a generator at a power plant provides this voltage difference?

First of all, let's get the terminology correct -there is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'. 'Voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', so 'voltage difference' would mean 'potential difference difference', which doesn't make any sense! So you should be referring to the voltage across the holes of an outlet, not the 'voltage difference' across those holes.The voltage produced by a generator in the power station produces a much greater voltage (up to 30 000 volts) than the voltage that appears across your outlet (120 V in North America or 230 V in Europe). Furthermore the generator's voltage gets increased even higher (hundreds of thousands of volts) before the electricity transmission can take place. Eventually, those high voltages are reduced, using transformers, until it reaches your outlet.

Define pinch off voltage and the gate source cut off voltage?

If negative voltage is applied to the gate of a NMOS, it repels electrons from the channel region towards the bulk of the p-substrate and attaract holes from p-substrate towards the channel. The recombination between holes and electrons causes a deplation of majority carriers in the channel. Enough nagative gate voltage can cause the channel depleted of majority carriers and cuts off the current between the source and the drain. The least negative gate voltage causing this is called gate-source cut off voltage.
