3 OR 4 . you only need 2 wires for 220, 1 phase is 120v between 2 of them its 220v . you also should have a ground for the third wire ,and the newer stuff requires a neutral or white wire for the 4th wire. hope i helped , D
ANSWER FOR THE US: The red wire should have the same as the black, which is 120V to ground, or 120V to neutral. Without the neutral, you will have 240V line to line.

A 220 volt receptacle is a receptacle which has 2 wires carrying 110 volts...it has two "hot" wires at 110 and a neutral or common leg which has no voltage. A 110 volt receptacle is a receptacle which has 1 wire which carries 110 volts and a common wire. The wiring in the USA is almost standardized now to where the two "hot" (carrying 110 volts) wires are colored black and red, and the common or neutral is white. To change a receptacle to 110 volts..you remove the red or black wire from the old receptacle and wire nut it off...leaving the other red or black to attach to the new receptacle (right side of receptacle usually, looking at it from the grounding hole on the receptacle ON THE BOTTOM). You then connect the white wire to the left side of the receptacle. This will provide only 110 volts now. If the wires are not black, red, and white..they may be black, black, and white. In most cases, the white wire is always the neutral or common wire. When in doubt, buy a voltmeter and check each wire to the metal box in the wall...the wires carrying the 110 volts will usually read 110 on the voltmeter (or 115, 118..etc). Good luck!
Depends on the voltage. Wattage is Volts x Amps. Resistance (ohms) is Volts divided by Amps. So on a 120V circuit, it would draw 41.66 amps. To do that, it would need a resistance of 2.88 ohms. But on a 240V circuit, it would draw 20.83 amps. That would require a resistance of 11.52 ohms. Determine the circuit voltage, then use that to figure the amps, then use that result to calculate the resistance necessary.
You need to change the circuit breaker and sometimes the wiring itself. For example, if you have a 120 volt circuit with a black wire as the hot and the white as a neutral you would take the white wire off the neutral bar of the circuit breaker panel and put it on one leg of a 240 volt breaker. The receptacle would have to be changed as well. The white wire should be re colored to black or red.
No way of telling unless you know the current of all devices that use the circuit. The maximum wattage for the circuit, assuming a resistive load (no motors) would be: Watts = Volts x Current.
Ohm's Law states Volts = Amps x Resistance. You would need to apply 600 volts across 3 ohm load to have 200 Amps flow in circuit. Not sure what you are really asking and why you mentioned 2 gauge.
A circuit has an applied voltage of 100 volts and a resistance of 1000 ohms. The current flow in the circuit is 100v/1000ohms which would equal .1.
You want to know how many amps in that circuit. To do so, divide the Watts by the Volts. in your case it would be 60 watts / 120 volts = 0.5 Amps.
30 volts.
4.5 volts in series; 1.5 volts in parallel.
Watts equals volts multiplied by amps. This would therefore be a five amp circuit.
That would depend on the power output (watts) of the circuit. Volts times the Amperage equals the Wattage of the circuit. You do not have enough information in your question. Volts is the force applied to move the electrons in the circuit, and amps are a measure of the quantity of electrons moved through the circuit over time. Thus a circuit of 415 volts and 1 ampere will deliver 415 watt-hours of power. Yet a circuit of 1 volt at 415 amps will deliver the same 415 watt-hours of power, but with less force.
5 amps

It depends upon how much amperage is utilized in a circuit. A circuit with 2 amps of current and 120 volts would consume 240 watts of power. The same circuit with 4 amps would produce 480 watts. You have to have 2 values of Ohm's law to figure out the third. See "Ohm's law" on the internet for more information on how circuit values are determined.
The most common circuit is the parallel circuit. If you notice, on a chandelier, if one goes out the rest stay on. If you would have a series circuit then your house lights would be very dim because of all the usage of lights.
Calculate the impedence of your 3V circuit in ohms. Figure the voltage you want to drop. In this case, you need to lose 9V. This is three times the voltage you are supplying, so the resistor should have three times the resistence of your 3V circuit. If your circuit has 100 ohms of resistence (impedence), then you would connect a 300 ohm resistor in series with your circuit.
because the circuit you have quoted is a parrallel type, the voltage will be the same across all the components/ resistors in parallel . -- 78 volts. however i wonder if you needed to calcualte the current flow
