Can you use 14 2 grounded wire on a 15 amp circuit for 2 receptacles and 1 pull chain light?
14-2 is rated for 15 Amp circuit. You can design a 15 Amp circuit to carry about 1440 Watts. The average outlet uses about 180 Watts and your pull chain is 60 Watts. You should have plenty of room on this circuit.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What else can I help you with?
Is it within code to hard wire a fluorescant light fixture into a 20 amp branch circuit that is now designated for general use utility receptacles?
It is not good practice in new wiring, but done all the time as part of a retrofit. Use 12 AWG wiring and make sure the circuit is not overloaded.
How do you add an outlet to a porch light?
how do you hook up an outlet to a pull chain light without the outlet shutting off when you pull string
When a light is on it is part of a scolde circuit?
when a light is on it is part of a scolde circuit
What job does a bulb do in a circuit?
The bulb converts energy from the power source into light and heat. It is the load in the circuit.
What would happen if you didn't have a light bulb for a circuit?
it would be ok in a circuit which didn't need a light bulb.
Why would receptacles have low voltage and the light switches no voltage on the same circuit?
lighting is usually on 15A breakers receptacles on 20A the probability is high that they are not on the same circuit. if they are the same circuit the probability is high that there hasn't been an electrical inspection
What is a branching circuit?
Each of the circuit breakers in the service panel controls electricity on a branch circuit. A branch circuit is typically a loop of wire that runs from the service panel, out to receptacles, light fixtures, appliances, etc. and back again.
What if both lights are not lit on Belkin F9H601aCW?
There is no power to it. The 'protected' light indicates that the filter circuit is operational and has power to it. The 'grounded' light indicates whether a device is properly grounded. But it still needs power to the surge protector to light it.
How can I determine if an outlet is grounded?
To determine if an outlet is grounded, you can use a multimeter or a plug-in circuit tester. Simply insert the multimeter probes or the tester into the outlet slots and check for a reading or indicator light that confirms the presence of a ground connection. If there is no reading or light, the outlet may not be grounded.
Why would the alternator light be on if the alternator is working this is on a 1985 Chevrolet truck?
The alternator light circuit is different from the charging part. The charging part goes to the battery, while the light part goes to the instrument panel. There seems to be a grounded wire in the light circuit.
Does the battery light being on mean the alternator is bad?
Not all the time. The alternator warning circuit wiring to the instrument panel could be grounded
Where the ground wire located?
The grounded conductor is usually covered in white or light gray insulation. The grounded conductor is connected to the grounding conductor at one and only one point, usually near the transformer or in the circuit breaker panel.
Can you wire lighting fictures to receptical circuits?
Yes as long as you stay within your local code. Usually a combination of lights and receptacles cannot exceed ten total. Do not wire any light to a circuit that requires a dedicated circuit, such as a refrigerator, dishwasher, etc.
What type of circuit off all lights when you take on bulb out?
If you remove one light from a chain of lights, and the other lights turn off, then it is a 'series' circuit.
Where is the reset button on the belkin surge protector BG108000ce2M?
The reset is part of the resettable circuit breaker. It is located just below the "not grounded" light that indicates when a ground is not present
What is the formula to figure out how many plugs and lights you can put on a circuit?
This depends upon the circuit breaker capacity. You may never load a circuit to greater than 80% of it's capacity. So you may load up to 12 Amps on a 15 Amp circuit, and, 16 Amps on a 20 Amp circuit. The National Electrical Code requires you to calculate each receptacle at 180 VA. If the circuit is 120 volts and 15 amps, you would have 1800 VA, divide by 180 VA per receptacle, equals 10 receptacles per circuit (minus the wattage of each luminaire or light fixture added to the circuit, before dividing by the 180 VA). If the circuit is 120 volts and 20 amps, you would have 2400 VA, divide by 180 VA per receptacle, equals 13.333 receptacles per circuit (round down to 13 receptacles),(minus the wattage of each luminaire or light fixture added to the circuit, before dividing by the 180 VA).
Why does the 4wd light stay on a 92 Toyota pickup 4wd?
Because your in 4 wheel drive mode? Switch and or linkage out of adjustment. Bad switch. Bad Relay. Grounded circuit.
