Best Answer: This is AC (Alternating Current) so it isn't positive and negative but hot and neutral. On a polarized plug, there is one wide blade and one narrow blade. The wide blade is neutral and the narrow blade is hot. The ribbed (white if there are colors) is neutral; the smooth wire (black if there are colors) is hot. So... hook the ribbed side to the wide blade (or white wire) and the smooth side to the narrow blade (or black wire). --------.
1 The neutral wire is identified by gray or white insulated wire, perhaps using stripes or markings.  With lamp cord wire the ribbed wire is the neutral, and the smooth wire is the hot. NEC2008 400.22(f) allows surface marking with ridged, grooves or white stripes on the surface of lamp cord. With transparent cord the hot wire is copper colored, and the neutral is silver colored.
