To answer this question the circuits voltage must be stated. Find the total wattage of the lights, use the following formula. I = W/E, where W is the total wattage and E is the circuit's voltage.
Yes.
Yes. I am assuming this is a residential question. A better answer is...if the 8 recessed lights draw fewer than 16 amps together, it is good.
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
A domestic D/W uses 14 gauge wire.
Use AWG # 6 wire.
Yes. In the US at least.

For a single pole light switch, typically you would use 14-gauge wire which is commonly used for lighting circuits in residential settings. It's always a good idea to check your local electrical code requirements to ensure you are using the correct wire gauge.
No, it is not safe to use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp breaker as the wire is not rated for that high of a current. It is important to use the correct wire gauge that matches the breaker amperage to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. For a 30 amp breaker, you should use at least 10 gauge wire.
No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.
No, it is not recommended to connect 13 gauge wire to a 20 amp breaker. The wire gauge should match the amp rating of the breaker to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. In this case, a 20 amp breaker should be used with at least 12 gauge wire.
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
A 14 gauge wire is typically used on a 15 amp circuit breaker. It is not recommended to use a larger circuit breaker with a smaller wire size as this can create a fire hazard.
It is not recommended to connect a 14 gauge wire to a 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker, as this can create a safety hazard. It's important to match the wire gauge to the circuit breaker rating to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It would be best to run a continuous 12 gauge wire for this circuit.
You can use a 20-amp single pole breaker for 12-2 wire. This is the standard size breaker for 12-gauge wire in residential applications.
A domestic D/W uses 14 gauge wire.
Use AWG # 6 wire.
