Wall switches should be 48" from the floor to the top of the switch box. They should never be placed behind a door. They cannot be installed within 3' of a bathtub or shower. Other than that they can be placed anywhere. For the most part they should be installed in the room where the light is located and not outside that room if possible. Use common sense.

Why switch is always connected in the phase wire?
First of all, the correct term is 'line' and not'phase' wire. The reason a switch is always placed in the line conductor, rather than in the neutral conductor, is that its function is not simply to break the circuit, but also to ensure that the circuit's load is disconnected from the line potential. If the switch were to be placed in the neutral conductor, it would still break the circuit, but the load will still be at line potential and present a shock hazard to anyone attempting to work on the load (e.g. to remove a lamp from its holder).
What can a split phase motor use to energize and deenergize the start winding?
A split-phase motor uses a centrifugal switch to energize and de-energize the start winding. The switch is connected in series with the start winding circuit and is typically set to open when the motor reaches about 75-80% of its operating speed, disconnecting the start winding from the power supply.
Where does the neutral wire go on a single pole switch?
Unless the switch has a light to indicate the switch is turned on, there is no neutral connection to a single pole switch.
What is an on and off switch used for?
It is used to switch equipment on and also it can be used to switch it off at a later time.
Can you change a light switch to toggle switch outlet?
You can if you have a neutral wire present. If the existing switch is what is called a "switch loop" then you can not change the existing switch to a switched outlet. You can identify a switch loop by looking at the wires coming into the switch bow. If there are only one set of wires usually a black and white and they go directly to the switch then you have a switch loop
Where is the switch allowed to be placed in the bathroom?
In North America the switch can be placed either inside the room or outside the room. When it is inside the room it is placed on the opening side of the door so that when you enter the room, the switch can be flipped on. When the switch is located on the outside of the room a convenient placement is close to the door opening so that when you open the door the switch can be turned on in one continuous motion.

Your question is rather vague but, for a.c. systems, a switch must always be placed in the line conductor, neverthe neutral conductor.
Is a switch in series with what it controls or in parallel?
An AC wall switch is in series within the parallel circuit of the overall house wiring.
Why is the switch for an appliance always placed in the live wire?
If a switch was on the neutral wire the live wire would still be at the mains potential even when the switch was off. This would cause on en electric shock when one handles any conductor linked to the live wire
What is the maximum length of the cable on the 100BaseT Ethernet network?
