It's not a problem so long as you use a 15 amp breaker. If you have any questions about electrical regulations in your area, contact the local building inspector or a local electrical contractor.

What size of wire use if you have 6 outlet with 30 amp breaker?
It is unusual to have multiple outlets on a 30 Amp service. If you do this you need outlets rated at 30 amps and 10 AWG wire.
Can you use 10 gauge wire to connect a 2 15 amp outlets to a 30 amp breaker?
no
How do you wire two outlets together when you want to continue the run to another outlet?
Use jumper wires to go from one outlet to the other.
Can 15 amp rated outlets be used with twelve gauge wire?
A. It's 240 volts & B. Wire size is a function of amperage. 12-gauge wire is used with 20 amperes or less. So, 12-gauge wire can be used with 120V/20A or 240V/20A. Keep in mind though that 240V in the U.S. has 2 live 120V lines so if you encounter a white wire, it's probably an unmarked live & should be repainted as black or better yet, red (to indicate the 2nd live wire).
Should you use 14-2 or 12-2 for garage outlets and lights in Richfield mn?
The only determining factor is the size of the circuit breaker that you will be using. If the garage circuit will be protected with a 15 Amp breaker, you may use a 14 AWG wire. If the circuit will be protected with a 20 amp breaker, you must use a 12 AWG wire. Note too that garage outlets should be protected with a GFCI breaker or outlet. If you have any concerns regarding your ability to adequately design and install the garage outlets, please, for your own safety, contact a local electrician.

Can you use 10 3 wire for outlets and lights in a home?
You could but is it a total waste of money and is overkill. Use 12/2 with ground on all 120 volt outlets and light switches.
Can you use 10 gauge wire to connect a 2 15 amp outlets to a 30 amp breaker?
no
How do you wire a 15 amp circuit?
Use a 15 amp breaker and 14 AWG wire and all switches and outlets rated at 15 amps or greater.

Use jumper wires to go from one outlet to the other.

How many wall outlets can you have in a circuit using a A breaker?
Assuming this is not an office of a place where lots of the outlets will be used to power items that draw lots of current on a 15 amp circuit wired with 14/2 wire I would limit it to no more than 10 outlets and lights combined. On a 20 amp circuit wired with 12/2 wire I would limit it to a 14 outlets and lights combined. There is no limit in the code. You just use common sense based on what is going to be used on this circuit.
What are the advantages ring connection of socket outlets?
Ring connection of socket outlets? Have no clue what you mean by this. Please rephrase the question in terms that are understandable. I will venture to guess as to what you mean. If you mean what is the advantage to connecting more than one outlet on a circuit the answer is to save wire and to allow the installation of over 100 outlets in a home on maybe just 10 circuits depending on the use of the outlets.

What size wire to use to run electric six hundred feet from the panel it will be for ceiling fan and six outlets?
I would install a 60 amp sub-panel and use AWG #3 copper.
What voltage does the country of Belize use and do they have same outlets as in USA?
yea some outlets and use 230 v
How loing is a wier reaqching from the top of a 20 feet pole to a point on the ground 14 feet from the base of the pole?
Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the wire:- 202+142 = 596 and the square root of this is the length of the wire which is about 24.4 feet
