How do you know which outlet is controlled by a switch?
Plug a lamp into a working socket of an outlet to ensure the lamp works. Then turn off the switch and plug lamp into all outlet sockets, top and bottom outlets until the lamp doesn't light. Then turn on the switch and the lamp should light. Often a switch in a bedroom is only connected to one socket in a duplex outlet. It is possible to remove a jumper in an outlet to isolate the sockets for just this purpose. Often an electrician will install the outlet upside down (The third prong pointing up, to identify the outlet.
How do you disconnect a light switch and outlet that are tied together?
If there is a black wire going from the outlet to the switch and the other side of the switch goes back to the outlet then just cut these wires and connect supply wire directly to outlet. If the supply goes to the switch first, disconnect from switch and connect the two wires with a wire-nut. Some situations only switch one of the two outlets in a duplex device. Do the same thing, but also replace the outlet since the strapping between both outlets has been removed.
How do you wire a double outlet to a lightswitch?
Bring power into the switch box with a 12/2 or 14/2 wire and send power from there to the wall outlet with another 12/2 or 14/2 wire depending on the circuit. 12/2 for 20 amp and 14/2 for 15 amp circuit. You will now have 2 sets of wires in the switch box. Connect all the whites together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect all the ground wires together and attach them to the green ground screw on the switch. Connect the black wire from the power source to one of the screws on the switch, does not matter which one. Then connect the black wire going to the outlet to the other screw on the switch. Put the switch back in the box and install the cover. At the wall outlet connect the ground to green ground screw, white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw on one of the outlets. Run 3jumper wires from all three of those screws to the other outlet in the box. Ground to ground, black to gold, and white to silver screws. Put it in the box and install the cover.How_do_you_wire_a_outlet_to_work_from_a_light_switch

What would be wrong if when you plug your disposal in it turns on but the wall switch is off?
This may sound silly but try the other socket. Only one of them will be controlled by the wall switch. Also make sure you are not plugged into the dishwasher outlet as well, sometimes theres two under the sink and other times just one and it will have a switched socket and an always on socket so you can connect both.

How do you wire one light and one GFCI and another light light and fan with two switches and one power line?
Connect the incoming power to the line side of the GFCi outlet. Now run another wire connected to the line side of the GFCI outlet from the GFCI outlet to the switches. Power one of the switches and use that switch to turn on the 2 lights. Run power from that switch to another switch and use that switch to send power to the fan. Mount both switches in a double pole switch box. If the light above the sink has an outlet on it then you will have to connect power going to that light on the load side of the GFCI outlet. If not then just connect it to the line side.

Using 1 cell 1 bulb and 1 switch draw a circuit to show bulb working only when switch is not closed?
This answer website does not have the ability to draw diagrams. From the positive side of the battery connect it to one side of the switch. From the other side of the switch connect it to the centre terminal of the first bulb's socket and then continue the wire to the centre terminal of the second bulb's socket. From the negative side of the battery, connect a wire to the shell terminal of the first bulb's socket and then continue the wire to the shell terminal of the second bulb's socket. When you turn the switch on the both lamps will glow.
Can it be dangerous to wire one outlet of a double outlet to a switch?

How do you add an elecrtric recepticle to a on off switch.?
Warning: This is NOT a detailed tutorial but rather an overview of the concept that omits any mention of basic electrical safety procedures or any existing wiring alternatives or obstacles you might encounter. If you are not familiar with electrical code and permits, do not attempt this. Split the hot/black wire and put the side coming from your service panel on the top lug of the switch, and the wire going to the receptacle on the bottom lug. Don't forget to connect your ground to the switch. Depending on your application this may not be legal under the current electrical code.
How do you run three switches and a hot outlet from one incoming power source?
You need to run a wire from the existing power source to switch to switch to switch to outlet.
Need to get power from existing wall outlet to a switch?
Possibly if you know building code requirements and the circuit requirements. Any electrical work done improperly can be deadly, it will void insurance coverage and could possibly land one in prison if damages occur. Call your local building inspector first, do it right or not at all.
