Light switch.
Electricians know the simple wall switch as a single pole light switch. When wired properly, the switch performs by disrupting the flow of electricity when it is turned off. Most modern light switches have 2 means to connect the wires to it; they have screws on the side to fasten them, or small holes in the back to insert the wires. They also will have a green screw that is to connect the ground wire.
Instructions
1. Turn off the electricity going to the switch. This can be done at the fuse box or circuit breaker.
2. There will be 2 sets of wires, with 3 wires each. The first set will supply the electricity, and the second will go to the light fixture. Each set will have 3 wires, black, white, and copper. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from each wire. The copper wire will have no insulation.
3. Bend the ends of the copper wires into hooks and fasten them to the green screw.
4. Connect the white wires together, and screw a wire nut onto them. Secure the nut to the wire with electrical tape.
5. Bend the ends of the black wires into hooks, and connect them to the screws, or push the straight wires into the holes on the back of the switch.
