How do you split one circuit into two branch loads within a junction box?

You should have black (hot), white (neutral) and bare wire (ground) coming into junction box. The two circuits leaving the box should use the same size wire which should be sized for the branch breaker and you just use a wire-nut to connect all black wires together, another wire-nut to connect all white wires and a third wire-nut to connect together all ground wires. Since you are splitting into two branches, all wire-nuts should have three wires of the same color.

What type of circuits have loads are on separate branches?
parallel circuitsThey could be called twin-loop circuits but it isn't a term in common use.
What is the number of plugs can a 15 amp circuit handle?
according to electrical code, a maximum on 12 outlets on a branch circuit unless the loads are known.
What is a circuit in which loads are connected side by side?
A circuit in which loads are connected side by side is known as a parallel circuit.
A circuit in which loads are connected side is called?
Loads are connected side
Is the circuit wiring between the motor starter in a motor control center going to the equipment disconnect with a circuit breaker in it a feeder or a branch circuit?
The terminology for a feeder is any wire that is coming into a device (it feeds the device with power). A feeder will be the wire coming into the disconnect and also the wires going into the motor will be called feeders. Even the wires coming into the MCC will be termed feeders. Branch circuits are circuits that usually originates at the main distribution and spread outward to their respective loads. Branch circuit terminology encompasses all of the equipment in the circuit that is connected from the overload device to the field load device.
How to calculate a parallel circuit with more than one load in its branches?
If a 'parallel' circuit has more than one load in its (not "it's"!) branches, then it is not a parallel circuit, but a series-parallel circuit! To resolve the circuit, you must first resolve the total resistance of the loads within each branch.

What is the difference between a run and a circuit?
run in a electrical system means a wiring & conduit runs coming from Panel Board Circuit Breaker to its branch circuit loads in a circuit. while circuit is a designated number of branch breaker in a panel board where power load was individual connected.
What is a circuit in which loads are connected side by side?
A circuit in which loads are connected side by side is known as a parallel circuit.
What happens if you add more loads to a series circuit?
When you have multiple loads in a series, the resistance of the loads is added together allowing very little current to flow through the circuit to power any of the loads, making for a low amperage circuit. If you have your loads in parellel, the resistance of the loads in the circuit is subtracted which allows more current to flow, making for a high amperage circuit.
How in energy transferred in simple circuits?
The charge travels through the wires to the loads from the power source where then it powers all the loads connected on the wire. This is beneficial, but also it has its disadvantages. When one of the loads (light bulb) goes out all of the loads connected to the wire go out, instead of where in a parallel circuit the branch that has that load that went out dies. The better choice would be a parallel circuit.
DoesCode permit connecting receptacles to a 20ampere branch circuit using short lengths of 14AWG conductors as the pigtail between the receptacle terminals and the 12AWG branch-circuit conductors?
No. This practice is a violation of Article 210.19 (A) of the NEC. "Conductors of branch circuits supplying more than one receptacle for cord-and-plug-connected portable loads shall have an ampacity of not less than the rating of the branch circuit."
