Assuming that you mean a mains plug, then the voltage across the live and the neutral pins depends entirely on the the supply coming in to the socket. North America is rated at 110V while in Europe, the standard voltage is 230V. All supply comanies are allowed a tolerance of a few percent either higher or lower than the rated voltage. However, on a project I worked on in Eastern Europe some years ago, I monitored the voltage and although it was supposed to be 220V in that particular country, what I saw was between 156V and 250V. So, even if you know what the voltage, should be, you can never rally be sure!

How does electricity get to a plug?
The electricity is produced by large generators in a power plant.Transformers in the power plant yard step up the voltage to more than half a million volts used by the power transmission lines.Power transmission lines carry the electricity over long distances between the power plants and cities.Transformers in a switching yard step the voltage down to 1000 to 5000 volts used by power distribution lines.Power distribution lines carry the electricity short distances between the switching yard and the customer locations.Service drop transformers on the pole or underground step the voltage down to the voltage needed by the customer (e.g. 220 volts center taped for household, 240 volt 3 phase for commercial, 480 volt 3 phase for industrial).Service drop lines carry the electricity from the service drop transformer to the customer's electric meter.Internal main wiring carries the electricity from the electric meter to the breaker box.Wires from the breakers in the breaker box to outlets carry the electricity to the outlet sockets.When you put a plug in an outlet socket, the plug gets electricity.
What is the relationship between atoms and static electricity?
static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can be called high voltage static electricity can bend water
How does spark plug works?
A spark plug works by using a high voltage energy pulse. The electricity arcs the gap between the anode and trhe cathode creating a spark. The spark ignites the fuel / air mixture in the cylinder.
What is the Independent Variable of electricity?
Voltage
How is the amount of electricity measured?
The unit of measure for amount of electricity is voltage.
What voltage of electricity is used for domestic electricity in nigeria?
240 volts
Would grid electricity be used at home?
Not at high voltage. The Grid Electricity Is divided at subtations to lower voltage for transfer to Houses
What is the definition of converting electricity?
Electricity is converted from High voltage, 3 phase on the grid to low voltage single phase for domestic use.
