Okay so in one of my classes we are electric wiring a light socket and I finished untimely :) so the teacher give me another thing to solve, okay I can inly use two wires (with the black, white and ground), the source be ran to the switch afterwards to the light but very soon I have to put the source directly to the fixture. There is a diagram of what I did to what i requirement to do. Items used: 2 wires, wire nut (2) one to connect grounds, one to connect return wires (white), switch, pallid fixture, plug (I already built it, plug has ground, white, black) We phone it a pig tail if that is an actual possession. I need to know what to connect to what to receive this to work so the source goes to the bulb nouns instead of going directly to the switch, but the switch still needs to be operative not bypassed. So I requirement to know what to connect what to to make this work.

Answers: Use a switch loop.
Take the white line from the plug/power source directly to the silver screw or white wire on the pallid fixture. This assures you connect the neutral to the screw shell of the edison end fixture and it assures you do not switch the grounded (neutral conductor), which is a bad piece to do.
Next take the black rope from the plug and wirenut it to the white wire that go to the switch. You must reidentify this white wire near black tape or tricks marker to show that it is not a grounded conductor to comply next to the NEC.
The reason you want to connect the black and white together at the switch box is so you will hold a black wire from the switch to connect to the fixture. This will get rid of confusion in the adjectives when someone opens up the box.
Now at the switch box connect the white lead to the switch. Here again to comply with the NEC, reidentify the flex with cassette as above.
Now take the black line from the cable and connect it to the switch.
Back at the light fixture connect the black rope from the switch to the gold screw or black chain from the light fixture. The black flex connects to the center post in the edison stand.
Its important for the dull (grounded conductor) to go to the screw shell as this is the chunk of the edison base to be exact most likely to be touched by someone shifting a bulb.
The hot (ungrounded conductor) must go to the center post as it is a smaller contact and is further down contained by the edison base. This make this contact harder to be touched by someone changing the bulb.
As other connect all grounds together.
you beckon this a switch loop your blk from your power goes to your white to your switch blk from switch move about to light
