Electricity Summary: Why Electricity Is Important To Our Life

Now we go back to the socket location to place the switch. The switch can be placed where it is most suitable for you, normally it is placed beside your door. Then, apply same process, peel wire ends for the switch. Place the wire below the screw head and make it hug the screw. Then, tighten the screw, so it holds the wire down, do the same for the other wire (a tip to note is that on the switch it does not matter which wire goes where). Lastly, screw the switch on the wall. Then, run that switch wire to the main wire that comes from the bulb and goes to the breaker box. Run the wire until it meets the main wire, it does not matter where they meet. Cut the main wire and peel all ends (by now you should have six ending wires [3 red and 3 black]). On the main wire, connect the two black wires again, screw a wire nut to them and place tape around it (that is negative power going to the bulb). Then you have 4 wires left: 2 coming from the switch (red and black) and two from the main switch (both red). Next, you connect the red wire coming from the switch to the red wire going to the breaker box and then you connect the black wire coming from the switch with the red wire that goes to the bulb. Place nuts and tape on all
