It is usually 240. Two lines enter your house, carrying 120 volts each, but they are out of phase by 180 degrees, so the two combined entering your house provide 240 volts, which is necessary for powering central air conditioning systems. You also have the option of powering everything else in your house with 120 volts because of the phase difference of 180 degrees without the need of a 2:1 turns ratio transformer in your house. You breaker box in you basement is wired to take advantage of this phase difference, supplying the 240 and 120 volt sources to the places that they are needed. This is a huge advantage of AC power.

no
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.
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
No. A water heater requires a 240 volt connection and cannot be re-wired to run on 120 volts. There isn't enough amperage in 120 volts to power the heating rods that are inside.
There are 240/2 = 120 of them
The transformer that feeds your house is a center tapped transformer. Primary 7200, Secondary 240. The 240 volt secondary is center tapped to give you 120 volts on either side of the tap. Hence house voltage is 120 / 240 volts.
240+120=360.
The LCM is 240.
divide 240 by 2 and.. voila.. you get 120!
80 X 3= 240 120X2=240 80, 160, 240 120, 240 so it's 240
The GCF of 120, 240, and 300 is 60.
50% of 240 is 120. 75% of 120 is 90.
120 plus 120 equals 240, or 240 plus 0 equals 240, and keep on adding!
The GCF is 120.
