No tandem breakers are of the same value.
No, it is not okay to replace a 20 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker. Breakers are designed to protect the electrical wiring in your home, and using a higher amp breaker can overload the circuit and create a fire hazard. Always use the correct amperage breaker for the circuit.
If you are referring to a cloths dryer, the answer depends on the requirements of the dryer. Most dryers require AWG#10 wire with a 30 amp fuse. If the wiring is AWG#12 then use a 20 amp breaker but never use it on AWG#10 which requires a 30 amp breaker. If you are referring to a hair dryer then yes a 20 amp breaker is fine.
A 20 amp breaker will trip if the current exceeds 20 amps for an extended period of time. It is designed to protect the circuit from overheating and causing a fire hazard. So, it would take more than 20 amps to trip a 20 amp breaker.
