This type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself. Study some electrical material and the National Electrical Code and work this answer out for yourself. If I were to give you an answer, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life. The NEC covers branch circuits in Article 310. Your answer is in there.
Yes, a double pole 20 amp breaker can be used with 12-2 wire for a 240V circuit. However, make sure the device you are connecting requires 240V and not 120V. Also, consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with safety standards.
A 220 VAC breaker can be single pole or double pole depending on the application. For standard 220 VAC circuits like most household appliances, a double pole breaker is typically used. However, in certain situations where only one hot wire is needed, a single pole breaker can be used for 220 VAC circuits.
The minimum size wire a 20 amp breaker needs to be connected to is a #12 wire. The 15 is probably connected to a #14 right now which is only rated for 15 amps. Remember the breaker is sized to the wires ampacity not the load .
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.
You cannot wire a normal 120V outlet directly from a double pole circuit breaker as it is designed for higher voltage applications. You would need to install a single pole circuit breaker for a 120V outlet.
Take out the double pole breaker, place the white wire on the grounding bar along with the ground wire, install singe pole breaker(size needed) attach black wire onto new breaker and you now have 110 line.
can a 20 amp double pole circuit breaker be used for 2 different 120 v circuits using 14 - 2 wire

You can use a 15 amp single pole breaker to convert your 30 amp double pole breaker to 15 amp 120v. Simply replace the 30 amp breaker with the 15 amp breaker in the circuit breaker panel. Make sure to match the wire size in the circuit with the appropriate amperage rating of the new breaker.
50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.
No, the wire will overheat.
A double pole 30 amp breaker can pass 30 amps per pole, therefore #10 wire should be used.
