This is a very simple yet common question. I am not going to answer it as there is too much terminology and safety issues to explain in one wiki post. Go to your local hardware store. They will have a book you can buy that explains how houses are wired and how to do it legally. The staff can help you buy the right wire, the right fixture, and the right box for the type of work. Armed with the knowledge from the book you can do it safely. The basics of tapping into an existing line are simple. Knowledge of the color codes, how to safely splice the line in the existing box, what gauge and type of wire to use, what kind of mounting to use, how to anchor the wire, etc. is where it gets complex. All that is job specific and must be followed to do the job safely. Finally, I will add do it right or don't do it at all. If you are negligent you could easily kill someone through fire or electrocution. If you read and do your homework and learn what it required you may find that small electrical repairs can be quick and easy. If you can't understand what you need to do hire an electrician. The cost of a professional is not worth the time you will waste if you don't understand what you are doing and the danger therein.

How does wood react to electricity in a circuit?
Wood is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. It will not allow electricity to flow through it like a conductor would, so it will not be affected by electricity in a circuit.
How does a circuit turn a switch on and off?
A switch makes a physical break in the electric circuit. With the circuit broken the electricity can not flow. When the switch is turned the other way the circuit is completed and the current/electricity can flow.
What job does a switch do in a circuit?
A switch in a circuit controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit. When the switch is closed, it allows electricity to flow through the circuit, and when it is open, it stops the flow of electricity. Switches are commonly used to turn devices on and off.
What does the on and off switch do on an electrical circuit?
The on and off switch controls the flow of electricity in the circuit. When the switch is on, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is off, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity.
What position does the switch have to be in for a circuit to work?
The switch needs to be in the "on" position for the circuit to work, allowing the flow of electricity through the circuit. In the "off" position, the switch breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.
How to put transformer in a sentence?
A transformer is used to transfer electricity from one circuit to another.
Electricity stops when the circuit is?
Electricity stops as soon as the circuit opens.
Can you put electricity in a jar?
No, electricity cannot be put in a jar. Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, and it requires a complete circuit to flow. You can store electrical energy in a battery or capacitor, but you cannot store the flow of electricity itself in a jar.
What does a switch in an electrical circuit do to control the flow of electricity?
A switch in an electrical circuit controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit, allowing or stopping the flow of electricity through the circuit.
In what type of circuit does electricity travel when it does work?
Electricity travels in a closed circuit when it does work.
Does electricity travel in a electromagnetic circuit?
Yes an electricity travels in an electromagnetic circuit. No it Doesn't
What type of circuit does electricity travel when it does work?
Electricity travels in a closed circuit when it does work.
How does a switch control the flow of electricity?
When the switch is open, the circuit is not a complete circuit. Electricity needs a complete circuit of conductive material. The switch breaks the circuit causing the flow of electricity to be disrupted. When you close the switch, a full circuit is restored thus restoring the flow of electricity.
What is the path the electricity takes called?
The path electricity takes is called a circuit.
What does a switch do in a circuit and how does it affect the flow of electricity?
A switch in a circuit controls the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit. When the switch is closed, it allows electricity to flow through the circuit, completing the path for the current. When the switch is open, it interrupts the flow of electricity, breaking the circuit and stopping the current from moving.
What is the purpose of a switch in an electric circuit and how does it function to control the flow of electricity?
The purpose of a switch in an electric circuit is to control the flow of electricity by opening or closing the circuit. When the switch is closed, it allows electricity to flow through the circuit, completing the path for the current. When the switch is open, it breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. This on/off functionality of the switch helps to control the flow of electricity in the circuit.
How does a switch work in a circuit to control the flow of electricity?
A switch in a circuit works by opening or closing a pathway for electricity to flow. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is open, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity. This control of the flow of electricity allows the switch to turn devices on and off in a circuit.
