Single Pole Switch Lighting Circuits - How to wire a light switch

This video tutorial covers the basics of wiring circuits using a single pole switch. It explains the components and function of the switch, and provides step-by-step instructions for wiring circuits with the switch first, lamp first, and using a three wire cable. Safety precautions and the importance of marking wires are emphasized throughout.

What is the primary function of a single pole switch in an electrical circuit?

• To increase the voltage

• To make or break the circuit

• To reduce the current

• To change the frequency

In the first circuit design, what is the purpose of connecting the ground wire to the wire nut within the switch box?

• To reduce the circuit's resistance

• To ensure the circuit is safe

• To increase the circuit's efficiency

• To enhance the circuit's speed

When the switch is off in the first circuit design, why can't electricity pass through?

• The voltage is too high

• The circuit is broken

• The circuit is complete

• The current is too low

In the second circuit design, why is black electrical tape used on the white wire?

• To increase its length

• To mark it as a hot wire

• To insulate the wire

• To reduce its resistance

What is the main difference in the third circuit design compared to the second?

• It uses a three-wire cable

• It uses a different type of switch

• It requires no wire nuts

• It does not need a ground wire
