A:  If you think the switches might plug into an electrical box I think you should hire a professional for safety. Either that or do a LOT of research and learn how to wire this stuff correctly. Electrical fires are a real thing and a huge risk when not done correctly. It's not worth the lives of your family and neighbors to save a little bit of money.

A:  seperately

A:  If you have 2 or 3 power sources coming into the box then separately. Otherwise here is how to wire 2 or 3 switches on one power source. These instructions are for 3 switches, 2 pig tails for 2 switches. Connect all white wires together, wire nut all grounds together with one extra copper "Pig tail". Attach 3 10" green 14 ga. solid wires to the ground "pig tail" You could use bare wire, this will eliminate any potential arching with other wires. Label the black wires. If you have one Power source wire coming into the box, label it too and wire nut 3 10" black 14 ga. wires to the black power wire as you did for the ground wire. Tuck all the wires in the back of the box except for the 3 green grounds, 3 labeled black, and the 3 pig tailed black power wires. Connect a ground, the labeled black wire (Light, fan, vanity etc.), and a "pig tailed" power wire to each switch (it doesn't matter what power wire goes to the switch. Just don't put two power wires to one switch, NOT GOOD. That will do it.
