Last question... if I wire a 14/2 to a grounded ac plug ( 3 prong plug)
how do you decide which side of the plug the black wire goes to and the
white wire goes to ?? Although the 14/2 carries its own ground wire,
isn't there still a safety point to have the current carrying wires
connected in a standardized way ??



No one answered this so:

White to the silver screw.
Black to the brass/'gold' screw.
Green to the ground pin.

Easy to remember: "Wide is white" One of the two pins will be wider
than the other. This wide pin is the neutral (white) wire.
