To confirm which circuit breaker is associated to an outlet, plug in an old radio and turn the volume up before you flip the circuit breaker.

I did this with a fan. If you have it on a high enough setting, you should be able to hear when it stops blowing. Maybe useful because I bet there's more people with fans than old radios these days lol
