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). --------.
The HOT side, should be the smaller of the two openings on the outlet. The neutral will be the wider of the two. Cords where it matters will have one of the prongs wider so the neutral side and hot side line up correctly. An outlet should be wired such that the HOT lead is connected to a specific side of the outlet, and the neutral lead to the other. This is done for safety reasons.
