Can you add another appliance to a circuit by simply changing breaker to a larger amperage?
The most sensible solution is to get a qualified electrician to check the wiring to see what the maximum load should be, and if necessary re-wire with higher capacity wire/configuration.
You can (there is nothing physically to stop you), but whether it is a good idea or not is a totally different matter - you risk starting a fire if you do.
The breaker amperage is set based on the wiring of the circuit - the wire used, along with how the wiring has been done, will limit the maximum current that can be allowed through the circuit; if this maximum is exceeded there is a risk of the wiring overheating and causing a fire.

Can you wire 2 bedroom on 1 breaker?
You can't wire 2 beedrooms on one breaker.
Can multiple circuits be connected on one breaker?
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.
What does dwell mean?
The number of degrees the breaker cam rotates from the time the breaker points close until they open again.
The probability that a tennis set will go to a tie breaker is 10 percent what is the probability that two of the three sets will go to a tie breaker?
The outcomes for each set is not independent. For a set to go into a tie breaker the players need to be very evenly matched. If they are, there is a greater probability that the sets will go into tie breaker. If you disregard that aspect of realitythen the answer is 0.0270, approx.

Installing a 120volt appliance what breaker is needed at the electric box?
For a 120-volt appliance, a single-pole breaker with a rating suitable for the appliance's power requirements should be installed in the electric box. The amperage rating of the breaker should match the current draw of the appliance to ensure proper protection and operation. It is important to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate breaker size for your specific appliance.
If a breaker is rated for 30 amps and is 2 poles is it ok to put an appliance that draws 50 amps?
The number that is on a breaker is the amount of amperage that the breaker can deliver before it trips. This is the same regardless of how many poles the breaker is.
What happens when you plug a 30 amp appliance into a 50 amp breaker?
If you plug a 30 amp appliance into a 50 amp breaker, the breaker will still function to protect the circuit from overheating due to excess current. However, the appliance may not draw enough current to trip the breaker in case of a fault, potentially causing damage to the appliance. It is generally recommended to match the amperage of the appliance to the appropriate breaker size.
Why does plugging too many appilances into the same circuit cause too much current to flow through the circuit what will happen as a result?
Each appliance has its own amperage. This can be shown by looking at the label of each appliance. A circuit is protected by a breaker which has a trip limit. By continually adding more amperage from different appliances, the circuit becomes overloaded. When the circuits limit is reached because of the additive effect of more appliances to the circuit the breaker will trip. This disconnects the appliance loads from the distribution panel supply and prevents over loading of the conductors of that circuit. Without removing some of the load amperage, the breaker will keep tripping when reset.
