Power into the first outlet and out to all other outlets, black to gold and white to silver screw, ground wires to ground screw. From the outlet closest to the light switch run power from that outlet up to the switch box. Run another wire from the switch box up to the light. In the switch box tie all the whites together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Tie all the ground wires together and connect that to the ground screw on the switch. Connect the 2 black wires you have left to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which if you only have power in and power out to the light.

∙ 14y agoYou connect them in parallel. For the first outlet connect black (Hot) to the brass colored screw, the White (Neutral) to the silver colored screw and the bare wire to the green screw. Do the bare wire in such a way that you can also attach it via a wire nut to the supply wire bare wire for the next outlet. Then connect the Black and White of this supply wire for next outlet to the Brass and Silver screws that have no wires attached yet.

∙ 14y agojust run white to white side on outlet,black to black side,then hook up 2nd outlet to black and white,and do the same for more outlets.But be careful not to over load curcuit!

Can you use 10 3 wire for outlets and lights in a home?
You could but is it a total waste of money and is overkill. Use 12/2 with ground on all 120 volt outlets and light switches.
Do you wire a gfci outlet differently?
No, except that you insert the wires into the holes on the back of the outlet. The power in connects to the LINE side of the outlet and power out connects to the LOAD side of the outlet. This is clearly marked on the back of the outlet. This will not only protect the outlet with the GFCI installed but all outlets receiving their power from that GFCI. If you do not want to protect the outlets receiving power from the outlet then connect that outgoing wire to the LINE side also. But know that only the outlet with the GFCI will be protected and all other outlets will not be GFCI protected.
Which wire used for ordinary light bulb?
In most home wiring circuits, the black wire is used to power a light bulb. The other wire is white and is called the neutral conductor.
How many wall outlets can you have in a circuit using a A breaker?
Assuming this is not an office of a place where lots of the outlets will be used to power items that draw lots of current on a 15 amp circuit wired with 14/2 wire I would limit it to no more than 10 outlets and lights combined. On a 20 amp circuit wired with 12/2 wire I would limit it to a 14 outlets and lights combined. There is no limit in the code. You just use common sense based on what is going to be used on this circuit.
Can you back wire an outlet on a gfi circuit?
Don't know what you mean by back wire, but most GFCI outlets have a circuit to attach additional outlets that will be protected by the GFCI. Keep total load in minds.
What is the function of light wire?
To carry the electric power to a light . . OR . . it's wire that is not too heavy to carry.
Have 120 volts going to outlets and lights but yet the plugs and lights don't work?
Check with a reliable voltmeter on the wire into outlets. If no power then it's disconnected in a junction box somewhere.

What would cause a 20A circuit breaker to remain on but have power with only two outlets and nothing anywhere else?
A disconnected or broken wire along the path somewhere. If you have 5 outlets (in a row) on a breaker and the wire breaks at the 3rd outlet, the first two outlets will still work but the others will not. Rodents are known to gnaw on wires and that can cause the break. Or maybe a wire just came loose from a recepticle.
How do you wire outlets parallel?
The same way

How do you bypass the brake light switch on a 1998 Cadillac Catera?
If your attempting to install a DVD player (in dash) in your car and need to bypass the brake light wire in order to be able to play it while driving its not too difficult. the brake light wire goes hot when the brake is applyied (to power the brake light itself) the DVD player uses this wire to know when the brake light is on or off based on if the wire is "hot" or not. simply splice the wire into a constant power source like the main power wire to your in dash unit.

In most home wiring circuits, the black wire is used to power a light bulb. The other wire is white and is called the neutral conductor.
How do you check an amp wire for power?
test light or volt meter
When wiring up a photocell where do the leads get connected?
Black Wire from photocel to hot wire(black) coming in red wire to light fixtures black wire. White wire to neutral wires all light and power source white.
The left light on your pintara has stopped working globes OK fuse OK no power to wire at light Help?
If the left light on your Pintara has stopped working, but the globes and fuses are okay, the wire may have a problem which causes it to lose power. To determine the problem, trace the wire to check for a break.
What caues the tail light in the tail-brake light to burn dim when the light switch is on?
The cause of the tail light burning dim when the light switch is on could be a short in the wire or an exposed portion of wire. This can sometimes cause the bulb to lack power because the power is drawn to another area.
