When installing outlets or light on one circuit you should put no more than 10 outlets or light connections on one circuit.

Personally when I rewired my house I put all the lights on there own circuits and only put 5 outlets on each circuit.

My refrigerator has it's own dedicated circuit and my microwave in the kitchen has it's own circuit as well.

You can never be too safe.

If you put too many outlets on one circuit you risk overloading and tripping the circuit breaker if you need to have more things plugged in and run at the same time.
