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 wire a light switch with only black and red wires?
The black wire is typically the hot wire that carries the electrical current, while the red wire is often used as a traveler wire. Connect the black wire to one terminal of the light switch and the red wire to the other terminal. Make sure to turn off the power before wiring the switch to avoid electrical shock.
How do you connect timer white and black house wire with red black and white wires?
House wire is "line" Black & White house goes to Black & White of Timer; the "load" (e.g. Pond Pump, etc.) is connected to the Red & White. Specifically, put all 3 whites together (nut or terminal); House (source)(line) Black to Timer Black; and "load" Black to Timer Red. The Red wire is the "Timed" (switched) hot wire.
How do you install a doorbell with four wires both having black and red wires?
It depends on what the wires are connected to and where the power supply is located. If the switch is lighted power has to get to the switch for the light. With a lighted switch you have a hot supply side, a neutral and then the wire going to the bell. So if Black 1 and Red 1 are supply voltage you would connect Red 1 to the hot side of switch, Black 1 would go to common as would Black 2. Red 2 would go to Bell side of the switch.
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.
I see only a red and a green wire coming out from ceiling box. What are they and how do you connect them to a ceiling light?
Normally red or black is the hot wire and green is the ground. However someone may have used the green wire as the neutral wire which is normally white. Just connect the black wire from the light to the red wire and the white wire from the light to the green wire and see if it works. If not you have to pull the wires out of the ceiling box and see how they wired it.
Which wire does the red wire connect to, black or white?
The red wire typically connects to the black wire.

Where does the red wire in a baseboard heater connect to the black or white wire in the wall?
In the heater you will have two wires. You should then have 2 supply wires from the panel, and 2 wires from the thermostat. The neutral (white) supply wire should go to one of the wires on the heater. The hot (black) supply wire should connect to one wire from the thermostat. The other wire from the thermostat will connect to the other wire from the heater.

How do you splice a cord with white and black wires to a cord with red green black and white wires?
To splice a cord with white and black wires to a cord with red, green, black, and white wires, first ensure that both cords are unplugged and safe to work with. Connect the black wire from the first cord to the black wire from the second cord (which is typically the hot wire). Connect the white wire to the white wire (the neutral), and if applicable, connect the green wire (ground) to the ground wire (if present). The red wire is often used for a second hot wire or switch leg; ensure it is capped off safely if not in use. Always use electrical tape or wire connectors to secure the connections and ensure safety.
