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). --------.
It prevents current from flowing through your body from the hot side of the power to ground instead of flowing from the hot side through an appliance and back to the neutral side of the power outlet. The neutral side is not the same as ground for this purpose. Normally 100% of the power flows from the hot side through an appliance back to the neutral side of the outlet. If it detects current going from the hot to ground it assumes there is a problem and interrupts the circuit.
