Divide 20A by the Amps listed on the label of each fixture ballast. A T8 bulb will use an electronic ballast. They generally run 1A for four 4 foot bulbs. Try 15 four bulb fixtures per circuit and use a 20A rated switch.
The number of ceiling fixtures that can be on one circuit depends on the wattage of the fixtures and the amp rating of the circuit. As a general rule, it is recommended to not exceed 80% of the circuit's amp rating to prevent overloading and ensure safety. It is best to consult with an electrician to determine the appropriate number of fixtures for your specific setup.
Yes. I know of no limits to how many regular receptacles (outlets) you can "piggy back" onto one GFCI receptacle. However, in commercial and industrial construction there are limits to how many receptacles can be placed on any one circuit. These limits in the United States and according to the NEC are: 10 receptacles on a 15 amp circuit and 13 receptacles on a 20 amp circuit.
It is recommended to only connect one laptop per 20 amp circuit to ensure it operates safely and efficiently. Attempting to connect multiple laptops on the same circuit could overload it and cause the circuit breaker to trip.
It is not recommended to swap a 32 amp circuit breaker with a 40 amp one without verifying that the wiring and components are rated for a higher amperage load. Consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the safety and compatibility of the circuit before making any changes.
No, it is not recommended to split a 30 amp plug as it can lead to overloading the circuit. It's best to use a dedicated circuit for each appliance to ensure safe usage of electricity.

The way you calculate this is by looking at the amperage marked on the ballast of the fixture. Different size fixtures have different size ballasts. A 15 amp circuit is allowed to be loaded to 80%. 80% of 15 is 12amps. Now all you have to do is divide the ballast current into 12 amps and you have the total number of fixtures that you can added to the circuit.
10 for a 15 amp circuit
No, the one amp fuse is the recommendation of the manufacturer of the circuit. By replacing it with a fuse five times larger will default the warranty placed on the equipment by the manufacturer. Where one amp will do no damage to the circuit, five amps could destroy the components that are connected in the circuit.
You can find out more information on how many new fixtures can be put in a circuit by going to a home improvement store such as Lowe's or Home Depot or going to their direct website.

Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
The unit of current is the ampere (A), or amp for short. A thousandth of an amp is a milliamp (mA). One amp is equal to one coulomb of charge per second.

When you mean simple circuit, I assume a source of one volt across a load of one ohm, which, according to Ohm's Law, equals one amp.
