Can 110V circuit with 2 wire size of 10 and a ground be converted to 220V after changing the outlet and breaker?

It depends on the amount of current (Amps) your breaker is rated for. If you boost your voltage the current will go down proportionally. 10 guage wire has an allowable ampacity of 30A. so if you are not drawing more than 27A you should be ok.

Does an electric circuit have a beaker?
Electric circuit need a main circuit breaker that can protect the whole circuit from short circuit even in ground fault. It's safer if you use breaker with built in ground protection.
A GFCI device in a breaker is intended to?
A GFCI device in a breaker is intended to trip the breaker open when a ground fault is sensed in the circuit that the breaker is protecting.
An open circuit results when a hot wire touches ground?
A short circuit is the term for hot touching ground. This can cause a breaker to trip which will then open the circuit.
What is a gfci oulet?
GFCI=Ground Fault Circuit InterrupterIt's an electronic circuit breaker that compares the current on two wires. If the current is NOT equal, the breaker trips and does so quickly enough to prevent electrocution in the event of a "ground fault".
Whatcould cause a sq d arc breaker to trip when aregular breaker doesn't?
The neutral is in contact with the ground at some point of the circuit.

How do you express an earth leakage circuit breaker?
In North America they are known as a GFCI. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter breaker.

no
What do ground fault relays do?
Ground fault relays sense ground faults in the circuit and trigger a circuit breaker to trip off
