Multiple wires can be connected to one breaker but the one breaker IS a circuit. As long as the load is not more than 80% of the breaker capacity (example: a 20 amp breaker can only have 16 amps or 1920 watts at 120 volts) then by code as long as the load is not a specialty outlet of some sort, you can have as many outlets you want.

Can you wire 2 bedroom on 1 breaker?
You can't wire 2 beedrooms on one breaker.
Explain do can a line segment have two mid points?
No, because if there is more than one midpoint then it will be like multiple line segments connected together. You can't have two midpoints or more, but you can have one to divide the line segment in half.
A line segment may have more than midpoint?
A line segment cannot have more than one midpoint or else you will be creating multiple line segments that are connected to each other. A line segment can only have one midpoint.
How does microprocessor add two numbers?
This is done by a combination of AND and OR circuits. Do some reading on "half adder" and "full adder" to get an introduction of how these circuits work. For example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adder_(electronics)In a real computer, in the simplest case two integers, each consisting of several bits, are added; this requires several half adders and full adders to be connected, one after the other.The actual computer circuits are more complicated than that, because of a need for speed. Also, the addition of "real numbers" (basically, numbers in scientific notation), often used on computers, is much more complicated than the addition of integers.This is done by a combination of AND and OR circuits.

Can you have 3 gfi plugs in a bathroom on one breaker?
That's no problem.
Can you have two circuits off one breaker?
No, a breaker is designed to handle the load of only one circuit. Connecting two circuits to one breaker can overload the circuit and potentially lead to electrical hazards such as overheating, tripping the breaker, or causing a fire. Each circuit must have its own dedicated breaker.
Is it ok to run three 240 on one 50 amp breaker?
If you are asking, can three separate 240 volt circuits be run off of one 50 amp breaker then the answer is no. Not without knowing what the loading of the three circuits are and whether all three circuits could be on at the same time.
Can you put in piggy back circuit breakers in a circuit panel?
The electrical terminology for this type of breaker is a tandem breaker. It is where two breakers circuits can be in the same one breaker slot in a distribution panel. On this type of breaker there will be two output for a circuit value of what ever the breaker is rated for.
How do you create a dedicated circuit?
A "dedicated" circuit is one to which only one device is or can be connected; therefore the circuit is "dedicated" to the device. A NON dedicated circuit will therefore be one to which multiple devices can connect, such as the wall outlets in your home. Multiple wall outlets are connected to a common circuit breaker, making that an example of a non-dedicated circuit.

How many wires can be connected on to a 20 amp breaker in NH?
Code only allows one wire to be connected to a single pole breaker. Any additional circuitry has to be done in a junction box downstream from the breaker.
Why would a switch on my distribution panel trip now and again when it's not actually wired up to anything?
Something that the breaker is wired to on the board has an intermittent short. <<>> It could be a case that you are looking at a two pole breaker that at one time was used on a three wire branch circuit. These circuits must disconnect both poles if a fault occurs on either circuit. It could be that one of the circuits was disconnected at some time prior and the one left on the breaker is in effect the cause of the breaker to trip. Without more information it is hard to tell. These types of three wire circuits usually feed kitchen counter receptacles. The next time the breaker trips check to see if it is a two pole breaker. If it is only a single breaker, for safety sake if there is nothing connected to the breaker, leave it in the off position as it may have an internal fault. In the future you may want to change it out for a new one. For more help just leave additional information on the discussion page, page link below.
Can you use two 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker?
Yes. An everyday occurrence of this circuitry is in your kitchen counter split receptacles. The top half of the receptacle is a 15 amp circuit and from the same breaker the bottom half of the receptacle is another 15 amp circuit. A two pole single handle breaker is a common trip. If one of the circuits fed from the breaker faults the other connected circuit will shut off also. If you are talking about slot position in a breaker panel, you can remove the two pole breaker and install two single pole breakers.
Why do you convert 120v circuits to 220v circuits?
You would need to change a circuits voltage if your adding a load that requires 220 when the present circuit supplies 120. If you need to do so it's pretty simple! First purchase a double pole breaker at the proper amp rating. Next find the breaker in the panel that supplies power to the circuit you wish to change to 220. Turn off the breaker and pull it out. Find the neutral for that circuit. Then double check and make sure it's the right neutral. Then check one more time. Now take the neutral and the hot wire for that circuit and connect them to the double pole breaker. install the breaker into the panel and turn it on. If you connected the right neutral you'll have 220 on that circuit. If you didn't you'll know because you'll trip the breaker.
How do you connect motor from battery?
There are two circuits on the battery and motor. One wire is take which have four ends. The wire is connected on the desired circuits.
Why would a higher amp breaker trip before a lower amp breaker?
Need more information. It doesn't seem rationale that they are protecting the same circuit unless you are substituting one for the other for a test. A unit like an air conditioner may have multiple breakers and a higher value breaker may trip because the load it is connected to is drawing current in excess of the rating of breaker.
SMy Breaker box is tripping one of my 20A's How many times can I just reset it before I have to shut it down?
If you have contineous tripping on a breaker then there is a fault on the load of that breaker. Don't reset it any more. What is the breaker connected to?
