Two. That's the minimum, and most electricians have it memorized. The reason is more useful than the number, and it's the thing an exam question will actually test you on. Stand in a kitchen at six in the evening. A toaster on one counter, a coffee maker on the other, a microwave, an air fryer, a kettle — all high-draw resistive loads, all running at the same time, all in a space of about forty square feet. One circuit cannot carry that, and a tripped breaker in a kitchen is the single most predictable nuisance in a dwelling. So the Code requires a minimum of two, and puts conditions on what else may share them. That's what the exam is getting at when it describes a kitchen with a refrigerator, a countertop receptacle, and a dining room outlet and asks what's permitted. Memorizing "two" doesn't answer it. Knowing what the two circuits are for does. Michael Hamilton's Illustrated Guide teaches it that way. Author's Comments explain the intent behind requirements throughout the 2026 Code — the situation the rule was written for. Full-color illustrations show the layouts. Step-by-step examples run the dwelling load calculations that these questions sit inside. Chapter review questions test what stuck. Volume 1, Articles 90 through 480, roughly 680 pages, current edition. $58 with a thirty-day, no-questions refund.
