Can the outlets in a circuit be arranged in different groupings to obtain the same resultwhy?

For a good answer you need to tell us what you mean by grouping. It comes to my mind that you may mean can you put outlets in the same room, or different rooms, on the same or different circuits to accomplish a certain purpose of sharing or not sharing a circuit. The answer is yes. You may group them or intermix them in any manner you wish, with the exception of kitchen, dining room, pantry, laundry, and/or bathroom outlets. These have special requirements. If this doesn't answer your question, please provide more information.


What is a 20 amp breaker?

For residential occupancy there is no code for the number of outlets. It depends on the load that is going to be applied to these outlets. In an average bedroom I would limit the outlets to no more than 12 unless it is going to be used as an office. In that case limit it to 10. If the lights are on the same circuit then limit it to a combination of 12 counting the lights and outlets. For a residential occupancy, there is no Code limit or load per receptacle. The number of required branch circuits is determined by calculations stated in article 220 of the nation electrical code and are related to square footage. Certain branch circuits, such as kitchen, laundry, and bathroom cannot serve other areas. That said, it is good practice to limit the number of general purpose lighting and general purpose outlets per circuit. Your local inspector may choose to be more stringent than the actual Code requirements.
