It's voltage*amperage. The actual energy in an electron is in its motion. When you run half the voltage you're going to need twice the amount of electrons per second if you want the same output.

>need twice the amount of electrons
You get billed by the electron?

Use more line spacing next time. The lines appear to mix together without line spacing, like some weird kind of Reddit dyslexia.

In a roundabout way, yes, you are billed for the total amount of energy you consume.

Yes. Your price will generally be x amount for every 1000 Watt hours.

>It's true, you only have 110v going to your house, the rest of the planet uses 240v.
That's not quite true. Homes in America have a "split 240V service". That means there is both 240 and 120. 240 is used for the oven, air conditioner, heater, and other major appliances. 120 is used for normal wall outlets.
>>Our appliances run just fine
Depends what you mean, really. Big stuff like the oven? Same as Europe. Small stuff that plugs into the normal wall outlet? No way. Not as powerful. You can easily see this for yourself. Look up something like an electric kettle on Amazon and compare the wattages. The Euro versions are typically much more power than than the NA versions.
>>doesn't know what a transformer is
Lol, that doesn't work either.
Normal US wall outlet is 120V on a 15A breaker (10A if you have an old or shitty house).
Normal Euro outlet is 240 on a 15. That's double the power available.
Yeah, you could theoretically get a step-up transformer. One that could supply 240 at 15A would require more than 30A of 110 to operate. It would also be a massive heavy SOB. You can't just plug it into a normal wall outlet because that can't supply the 30A required.
Yep, I mentioned that far earlier in the thread.
