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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What are the wires going to outlets called?
The wires going to outlets are typically referred to as "branch circuit conductors." These wires connect the outlet to the electrical panel, supplying power to the outlet for devices and appliances. Common types of wire used for this purpose include NM (non-metallic) cable and conduit wiring, which usually consist of a hot wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire.
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.
How to wire outlets in series?
To wire outlets in series, connect the hot wire from the power source to the first outlet's brass terminal, then connect a jumper wire from the first outlet's silver terminal to the second outlet's brass terminal, and so on for each additional outlet. Finally, connect the last outlet's silver terminal to the neutral wire from the power source. Make sure to turn off the power before working on the outlets.
How to wire 2 outlets together in a safe and efficient manner?
To wire 2 outlets together safely and efficiently, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wires to the brass screws, white wires to the silver screws, and ground wires to the green screw. Use wire nuts to secure the connections and cover with electrical tape. Test the outlets before turning the power back on.
How to wire multiple GFCI outlets in a circuit?
To wire multiple GFCI outlets in a circuit, connect the line and load terminals of each outlet in parallel. The line terminals receive power from the source, while the load terminals provide power to downstream outlets. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional electrician if needed.
How to wire a fluorescent light properly?
To wire a fluorescent light properly, first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, connect the black wire from the light fixture to the black wire from the power source, and the white wire from the fixture to the white wire from the power source. Finally, connect the ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the power source. Make sure all connections are secure and insulated before turning the power back on.
How can I wire a room with lights and outlets?
To wire a room with lights and outlets, you will need to plan the layout, install electrical boxes, run wires from the circuit breaker to the outlets and lights, connect the wires to the outlets and light fixtures, and test the connections to ensure they are working properly. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for safety and compliance with building codes.
How do you wire two outlets in one box?
To wire two outlets in one box, you will need to connect the incoming power supply wires to both outlets. Connect the black (hot) wire to the brass screws on each outlet, the white (neutral) wire to the silver screws, and the green or bare wire to the green screw for grounding. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
How do I wire a light switch to a light?
To wire a light switch to a light, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wire from the switch to the black wire from the light. Connect the white wire from the switch to the white wire from the light. Finally, connect the ground wire from the switch to the ground wire from the light. Secure all connections with wire nuts and cover with electrical tape. Turn the power back on and test the switch to ensure it is working properly.
How to wire fluorescent lights properly?
To wire fluorescent lights properly, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit. Remove the cover of the light fixture. Connect the black wire from the power source to the black wire of the light fixture. Connect the white wire from the power source to the white wire of the light fixture. Connect the ground wire from the power source to the ground wire of the light fixture. Replace the cover of the light fixture. Turn on the power and test the lights. Make sure to follow all safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
How can I properly wire a motion sensor light for my outdoor security system?
To properly wire a motion sensor light for your outdoor security system, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the area where you will be installing the light. Mount the motion sensor light in a location that covers the desired area. Connect the black wire from the light to the black wire from the power source. Connect the white wire from the light to the white wire from the power source. Connect the ground wire from the light to the ground wire from the power source. Test the light to ensure it is working properly before securing it in place. Turn the power back on and adjust the settings on the motion sensor as needed.
What is the difference between a line and load in a light switch circuit?
In a light switch circuit, the line is the wire that brings power into the switch, while the load is the wire that carries power from the switch to the light fixture. The line wire is typically connected to the power source, while the load wire is connected to the light fixture.
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.
How do you wire a GFCI outlet with multiple outlets?
To wire a GFCI outlet with multiple outlets, you can connect the incoming power supply to the "line" terminals on the GFCI outlet. Then, connect the additional outlets to the "load" terminals on the GFCI outlet. This will provide GFCI protection to all the outlets downstream. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed.
