Why would a light switch have two black wires for power and two whites caped off?

Black represents Hot and White common. For the light to operate it needs a white and black wires. The switch box has two cables with a white and black wire plus a ground. One wire is from the supply and the other to the light. Connecting the whites just provides common directly to the light. The blacks go into and out of switch because it is the hot side that is being switched.


Hot wires in home wiring are normally colored and ground wires in computers are normally colored?

In home wiring, hot wires are typically colored black or red, while ground wires are usually green or bare copper. In computer wiring, ground wires are typically black, while hot wires are often colored according to industry standards, such as red or yellow.


When installing lights with 2-way and intermediate switching control the intermediate switch must be connected to the?

to wire a lamp to be controlled from three places you need two three way switches and one four way switch. the two traveller wires that would normally run between the two three way switches must be connected to the terminals of the four way switch


What is the symbol of wires not joined?

The symbol for wires that are not joined is a dot placed at the intersection point of the wires. This indicates that the wires are connected without actually physically touching or being spliced together.


If there are two black and one white wire in ceiling light do I need to use both black for the switch to work?

If there are two black wires, it's possible that it was wired for a ceiling fan and that one of the wires is for the fan part while the other is for the light part. If so, one of the black wires may be switched while the other is always "on." Normally black is "hot" and white is "neutral" (NOT ground... ground is usually green).

Do you attach the red wire to the brown and black to the blue for a light?

No, typically red wires are connected to hot/live wires and black wires are connected to neutral wires. Blue wires are often used for connecting to neutral wires as well. Remember to always follow the wiring instructions provided with your specific light fixture.

How did Edison's light bulb work?

Electricity goes through the "electrical foot contact", heats up the wires (connected to the tungsten filament) therefore lighting the light bulb up. The filament is supported by wires. The glass mount holds up the two wires connected to the filament. That is how I think the light bulb works. Have a look.

If a light bulb is connected between 2 wires and both wires have 300 volts of electrical energy is the light bulb lit?

A light bulb connected between to wires, each having 300 volts to ground that are in phase, will not light, because there is no differential voltage available to do any work. If each wire has 300 volts to ground and are out of phase (600 volts between them) the light bulb will be lit, if it is rated at least for 600 volts, otherwise it will burn out.
