120 Volts and 115 Volts refer to the same thing in the US. Residential electricity is provided at 120 Volts from the utility. High current devices such as motors are often rated at less than the supplied voltage (such as 115 Volts) because it is expected that there is a small amount of voltage drop in the circuit feeding them. The National Electric Code allows a 5% drop in voltage from the electric service so a 5 Volt drop from 120 Volts is OK.
It is not recommended to plug a 110v hair straightener into a 220v outlet as it may damage the appliance and pose a safety hazard. You should use a voltage converter or transformer to safely use the hair straightener with the higher voltage outlet.
No, you cannot plug a 115V American appliance directly into a 240V Australian outlet without a voltage converter or transformer. The voltage difference could damage the appliance or cause a safety hazard. It's recommended to use a voltage converter or transformer suitable for the appliance's power requirements.
No, it is not safe to plug a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet. The appliance may not function properly and could potentially be damaged. Additionally, there is a risk of electrical hazards or fire due to the voltage mismatch.
No, it is not safe to insert a 160V rated plug into a 110V outlet. The voltage difference could cause damage to the appliance or electrical system, and may pose a fire hazard. It is important to always match the voltage requirements of the device with the voltage supplied by the outlet.
No. the plug configuration is different, just for that reason so that the two voltages can not be crossed over.
Yes you can safely do this. Most appliances that are marked 115 volts will operate on outlet between 110 and 120 volts safely.
Yes
No. Attempting to run an appliance on insufficient voltage can cause damage to the appliance and can be dangerous. Call an electrician and get him to install a 220v plug

Yes, all wall receptacles are rated at 125 or 130 volts.
Sure, you can technically plug a 115V appliance into a 120V outlet without blowing up your house, but don't expect it to perform at its best. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole - it might work, but it's not ideal. So go ahead, give it a shot, but don't be surprised if your appliance isn't too thrilled about the situation.
If it's rated at 110 then you can safely plug it in to a residential outlet. But, because it is generating heat, it will be drawing substantial voltage so you should ensure that the appliance is on its own circuit; otherwise when someone else turns on a light, or plugs in another appliance, the circuit will overload and shut down.
You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
