Answer 2

Domestic electric appliances such as electric bulb, electric iron geyser, room heater, etc work on heating effect of current and are rated in terms of voltage and wattage. The coils of these devices are made of a material of a very high resistance (for instance nichrome or tungsten) such that when when a current passes through the coil heat is generated. Generally the potential difference applied to the electrical appliances is the same as the of the mains that is 220-230 volt in India and 110 volt in USA, Canada, etc.
