Can you split 1 wire into 2 within a junction box or must you only add on to the end of a electrical run?

you can. the current draw is the same either way. im almost sure (check me) that everything in a house is wired "in parallel", whether its outlets or lights. so adding the extra wire in either place splits the current the same way, just in a different spot. the only reason you wouldn't split inside a junction box is if the box is too small to hold all the wires and connectors.

When is it required to bond a junction box?
If a junction box is part of an electrical conduit system then it is required to be bonded so as to make the whole electrical conduit system continuously conductive.
What must happen to the voltage and resistance for the circuit to get cold?
For the circuit to get cold it must include a reversed junction thermocouple like in an electrical thermocooler.
How much electrical wire loop be left on wires before entering the outlet and switch box?
From where the wires enter the junction box there should be 6 inches of wire left for the electrician to complete the splicing of the circuits. NM cables must be supported within 12 inches of a box. There is no loop of extra wire allowed such as you might find with data or low voltage cables. Most conduits must be supported within 36 inches of a box.
How do you get rid of an electrical outlet?
Just make it a junction box. Remove the outlet, tie the blacks together under a wire nut. The the whites together under a wire nut. Tie the ground wires together under a wire nut. Push all the wires back into the outlet box and cover it with a blank cover. Paint the cover the same color as the wall. Do not sheet-rock over the outlet box. All junction boxes must be accessible.
What are the uses of junction box?
Used to connect wires together and cover them for safety. Junction boxes must never be installed anyplace they cannot be accessed at any time.
When exist a junction box EMT conduit must be supported with how many inches?
When exist a junction box EMT, conduit must be supported within 18 inches.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of steel junction boxs?
There are no advantages or disadvantages over which type of junction box to be used on electrical wiring. As long as the junction box is of an approved type (CSA or UL approved). It is cost or location which dictates which boxes will be used. PVC boxes for home wiring are the cheapest. Aluminium or steel are usually used in rigid or EMT conduit systems. PVC again when the conduit system involves underground wiring. In large electrical installations it is the electrical engineer that states what the conduit system type is and what type of electrical junction boxes that must be used.
What type of junction must there be between the cells of your bladder?
tight junction
When making a you-turn you must signal within how many feet from the junction?
Generally all signalling for all turns and lane changes in the U.S. is 200 feet.

When inexpecting an air conditioner an electrical disconnect is required in sight of the grounding rod?
No. The service disconnect must be within sight or within 25 ft. of the AC motor.
What must happen during explosive operations in the event of an electrical storm within the vicinity?
stop all outdoor operations
Is it ok to use plastic junction boxes in the attic Thanks?
Yes, Plastic junction boxes can be used in the attic of a home. They must be secured and have a cover on them. They must be accessable.
How far from a junction box must emt conduit be strapped?
I always put the first EMT clip/strap 1 foot or 12 inches away from the junction box, then every 5 feet or so after that.
Can capstar flea tablets be split?
They can be split, but both halves still must be administered.
