Can I mix 12 and 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit?

Yes, you can use 12 gauge wire on a 15 amp circuit. However, one should never put a 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit, as the wires will melt and cause fire before ever tripping the breaker. Also, keep in mind that a 14 gauge wire is a bit better since its thinner and lighter than 12 gauge.
