i already posted a similar article about plumbing, so it's the same for electrical. (i work in a hardware store, and i'm put in the area that deals with electrical, as well as plumbing)
is there anyone who can give me electrical basics?
(flourescent fixtures, circuit breakers, fixing wall switches, stuff like that)

Electrical crash course, same as plumbing. It takes years to learn these trades, you can't even "get by" in just a few sentences.
Your going to have to refer these jobs to someone who knows them or learn on the job, OJT as in the Amy (on the job training) but, make sure your right so you don't give someone the wrong information that could harm somebody.

We would need to write a book to answer this question. Your best approach would be to pay attention at work and watch for courses they might put on. Besides that there are books available and read the questions and answers here. Most knowledge of this sort to learn it to any depth requires years of experience, courses, and practical on the job experience.
You could ask specific questions here as they come up for you.

Ok well I am not of the devil so far as i can see. I am a good person and i have taken a workshop at my spiritualist church and I gave a message to a lady in the audience. I suppose that qualifies somewhat to answer your question. I will tell you that I felt a cold draft a very slight breeze up my back and then a very subtle energy. There was no shock to speak of and it wasn't in the least unpleasant. It made me feel a bit high if you want to know the truth. But if you felt a shockwave - well I guess it is all about how your energy blends with that spirits energy. I know I have had different vibrations and some are so strong that it is not comfortable, not painful mind you just very unsettling. Hope this helps

you have a long way to go...florescent lamps..single pin or double pin...ballast...it kick starts the florescent bulb..various sizes..some just snap in..others have to be wired...selling wire is by size and ampacity (ampeage carrying capacity)...sockets.(outlets)..three prong (two reg slots and a ground slot)...appliance outlets for 110v and 220v...the outlets come in different shapes to match the cord that plugs into it...fuses...ckt breakers...check the amps on the breakers..their are also various sizes of control boxes...the size of the box is determined by what it is used for...again rated for ampacity...wire nuts...plastic color coded ....the color helps what size of wires you want to twist together...wire strippers..wire cutters...tons of different types of switches...from simple on/off to 2 pole double throw..switches for control boxes...various meters...analog and digital types...reading voltage..ohms (resistance) and amps...phew...i can go on and on...but you had better do some homework....or get another job...good luck...beam me up scottie
