In some cases in residential wiring you do. From a light fixture junction box to a switch box, the cable is a two wire, black and white. To connect the switch into the circuit at the fixture box, the "hot" conductor is connected to the white wire that goes down to the switch. The switched "hot" comes back on the black wire and this is then connected to the fixtures black wire. The white (neutral) is picked up in the fixtures junction box and connected to the fixtures white wire.

How do you connect red white black and green form USB to a two wire cable having red lack?
You can connect the red wire from the USB cable to the red wire of the two-wire cable. The black wire from the USB cable can be connected to the black wire of the two-wire cable. As for the white and green wires from the USB cable, since the two-wire cable only has a red and black wire, you can leave the white and green wires unconnected as they are not needed in this case. Just make sure to insulate the unused wires properly to avoid any short circuits.
