DoesCode permit connecting receptacles to a 20ampere branch circuit using short lengths of 14AWG conductors as the pigtail between the receptacle terminals and the 12AWG branch-circuit conductors?

No. This practice is a violation of Article 210.19 (A) of the NEC. "Conductors of branch circuits supplying more than one receptacle for cord-and-plug-connected portable loads shall have an ampacity of not less than the rating of the branch circuit."


How are branch circuits rated?

By the rating of the overcurrent device.


Are amps constant in a parallel circuit?

The short answer is NO. PARALLEL circuits are those in which two or more physical branches (the wirings) are connected together at the endpoints of each branch. This means that each branch has the same voltage V applied to it (across it). Since each branch may have different types of components (the loads), the current in each branch can be different, since current I is the voltage V across a branch divided by the effective load resistance R, then I= V/R . Since the voltage across each branch is the same, if R varies in each branch then current I must vary in each branch. A SERIAL circuit has the SAME current since it is formed by connecting the branches (components) together in a consecutive string so that the current flowing in one must be the same as the next. In this case then the voltage must be different across each component if the R of each component is different.


What are branches under electronics and communication engineering?

Electronics and Telecommunication is the mother branch of IT. This branch is having wide scope in the public sector, Private sector as well as in Government sector.
