Simply put, it is any electrical outlet the has three holes that the female end plugs into. What this is referred to most of the time (but not always) is a regular 110V outlet. Older outlets had only two holes, one for the hot, one for the neutral. All newer installations have the third hole for the ground wire.
it is the outlet which is used to run heavy machinery
Change the outlet to a grounded one. Get an adapter that goes from 3 prong to 2. Break the ground prong off. Any one of these will work.
Yes, provided the outlet has a three element receptacle. The third prong is ground. If you use an adapter that connects three prongs to a two slot outlet there is a shock danger.
YES - it will work fine, and hopefully you have grounding in the plug. If you do not, you should also get surge protection and a safety cap when not using. The 3 prong will not create a ground, so it will not change the fact that it is dangerous not to have ground (you know kids and outlets).
Change either the plug or the cord. The fourth prong is another ground. It would be easier to change the cord.
The four blade dryer plug brings a separate ground wire from the machine to the electrical grounding system. The three blade dryer plug depended on the neutral wire of the plug to make this connection.
Disregard the neutral
No you can not you will need to replace the plug with a 4 prong the same as the style of your oven and change your breaker to the correct Amp for your style of 4 prong plug

Yes, provided that you have a ground wire in the box and that the ground wire is properly connected in the electric panel.
There is not enough information stated as to what you are trying to do.
Only if you wanted to fry your hair.for God sake(and yours)buy a new cord to hook up your dryer
Buy a tester. They are very cheap and will tell you at a glance if the outlets are wired correctly. The only other way is to remove the outlet and look see. But if it is a 2 prong outlet with no ground hole then it does not have a ground.
