There are different ways to do this. The basic way it to use the black wire on each line (power from breaker and line to the outlet/appliance) and wire it to the switch. The white wires can be tied together using a wire nut or some type of wire joining device. The ground wires must also be tied together and to the junction box.
Follow basic precautions such as making sure there is no power to the line before attempting to do this.

Where does the neutral wire go on a single pole switch?
Unless the switch has a light to indicate the switch is turned on, there is no neutral connection to a single pole switch.
What is difference between single pole and double pole switch?
A single pole switch interrupts only one wire, which must be the live wire. A double pole switch interrupts both the live and the neutral, so it contains two separate switches operated by the same lever. Current practice is to use single-pole switches, to avoid a fault condition which could leave equipment live while switched off.
Does it matter if the neutral and live wire swop places?
Yes it does because a single-pole switch interrupts only one wire which has to be the live one.
What is the difference between double pole and triple pole?
A single-pole switch is an on/off switch that switches a single wire such as the circuit to your overhead light. A double pole switch is also an on/off switch that switches two wires. You would use this to switch as 240 volt circuit (which requires two hot wires) or if you had two circuit you wanted to switch at the same time. I've used them when I had two large light circuits that required two breakers that I wanted to switch with one switch.
How do you wire a single pole motor 110 volt switch?
The switch will be wired in series with the motor. It is connected between the supply voltage and the motor's junction box. The switch will break the black wire while the white wire is just wire nutted together and is carried directly through to the motor.
Where does the neutral wire go on a single pole switch?
Unless the switch has a light to indicate the switch is turned on, there is no neutral connection to a single pole switch.
How do you wire a receptacle from two switches one is 3 way one is single pole?
You cannot wire a single pole switch and 3 way switch together.
How does a double pole switch work?
A switch is inserted in series with a single wire. When the switch is on, it is as if the wire had not been opened to insert the switch. When the switch is off the wire is open and no current can flow. All a double pole switch does is allows you to switch two separate wires at the same time with the same switch action. A single pole switch just switches one wire.
What is difference between single pole and double pole switch?
A single pole switch interrupts only one wire, which must be the live wire. A double pole switch interrupts both the live and the neutral, so it contains two separate switches operated by the same lever. Current practice is to use single-pole switches, to avoid a fault condition which could leave equipment live while switched off.
Can a three way switch be changed to a single pole switch with a plate over one of the switch locations?
Yes, If you only hook up two wire it will work as a single pole
How do you wire a DPST switch?
A double pole single throw switch. used to switch two lines at the same time.
What is the function of single-pole switch?
To open or close a single wire connection between a power source and a load.
What does SPST mean?
A single pole single throw switch (SPST) is used to open or close a contact to a single wire. It can be used as an on/off switch for an appliance or for a light bulb.
What is the use of SPST in experiment?
A single pole single throw switch (SPST) is used to open or close a contact to a single wire. It can be used as an on/off switch for an appliance or for a light bulb.

What are the function of single pole switch with sthetic diagram?
single pole switch with sthetic diagram are hard to find these days
