Not a good idea at all. The 220V will have better insulation to reduce chances of electrocution from the higher voltage and the 110V will have heat-resistant insulation to reduce the chances of fire. It's uncommon to find a cord that will have insulation that will be correct for both voltages.
You would be risking either electrocution (220V in a 110V cord) or fire (110V in a 220V cord). Six foot (2 meter) extension cords are usually under $5 US, so just buy one for the power where you are and stay safe!

Actually yes you can. It's not so much an issue with voltage as current. The current is what causes the wires to burn up. I've seen many 220v devices that use the same wire as 110v devices. Although it is still best to use the correct wire for the application.

by no capacity..you won't be in a position to try this. 220volts have 2 warm strains the place as a hundred and ten volts has one million warm line.sell your extension twine at a storage sale. do now not ask for difficulty.you could replace a 220 volt to a110volt yet now not any incorrect way around..

Of course not.
You can broke the electronic machine that you use by that way.
Cause fire and burning.
