Question

1. the correct connection for the two 120 volt lights to the single - pole switch would be ____. (a)1 - 4 2 - 6 3 - 5 - 7 (b)1 - 6 2 - 5 3 - 4 - 7 (c)1 - 7 2 - 5 - 6 3 - 4 (d)1 - 5 2 - 6 - 7 3 - 4

Explanation:

To determine the correct connection for two 120 - volt lights to a single - pole switch, we analyze the circuit connections. In a typical single - pole switch circuit for lighting, the switch should control the hot (or line) wire, and the lights should be connected in parallel (since they are 120 - volt lights, parallel connection ensures each gets 120 volts).

Let's analyze each option:

• Option (a): 1 - 4, 2 - 6, 3 - 5 - 7. The connections here do not seem to follow the correct parallel and switch - control logic for two 120 - volt lights.
• Option (b): 1 - 6, 2 - 5, 3 - 4 - 7. This connection setup allows the single - pole switch (connected through the appropriate wires) to control the two lights in parallel. The wiring here ensures that the switch can break the circuit for both lights, and the lights are connected in a way that they receive the correct voltage (120 V) as they are in parallel.
• Option (c): 1 - 7, 2 - 5 - 6, 3 - 4. This connection does not seem to properly configure the switch to control both lights in the correct 120 - volt setup.
• Option (d): 1 - 5, 2 - 6 - 7, 3 - 4. This connection also does not follow the standard wiring logic for two 120 - volt lights with a single - pole switch.

Answer:

(b) 1 - 6 2 - 5 3 - 4 - 7
