Question:

I have installed a bathroom fan, however, I have only one switch in the room. Could you tell me how to wire this so that the fan will operate when the light is turned on.

Answer:

You'll probably be best off to fish the power cord for the fan down through the wall to the light fixture and then just hook it up there.
