Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. Looking at the duplex receptacle from the front side directly on, you should see a larger blade hole (silver) on the left, smaller (brass) blade hole on the right and a U shaped ground blade on the bottom. The white wire connects under the left (silver) coloured screw, the black wire connects under the right (brass) coloured screw and the green or bare wire under the green ground screw.
I'm first off assuming this is a brand new plug, not a replacement. Okay. Ground first(green). Make sure you've got enough bare copper to wrap around the bottom screw. Then, strip and wrap the white around either of the silver screws on the side of the outlet. Finally, connect the black to the hot side (brass colored screws). And you should be all set.

Do you mean a 3 wire receptacle? You say cable,are you talking like extension cord type or interior romex wiring? If romex, you should have a black, white and bare(green or ground)and possibly a red if a 4 wire . Connect black to gold on the receptacle,white to silver and ground to the green screw.
Simply run a wire from that outlet to that wall switch. Be sure you use the exact same wire size that you find in that outlet. It will be AWG 12/2 or 14/2. Do not mixes wire sizes. Connect the ground to green ground screw at outlet, and white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw. At the light switch connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect the ground wire to the green ground screw on the switch. Now connect the 2 black wires you have left, power in and power out, to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which wires you connect to the 2 screws.
Install the GFCI outlet is a location near the hot tub where it can be accessed and tub plugged in. Connect ground wire to green ground screw. Connect black/white wires to LINE side of outlet. Black goes to copper screw, white goes to silver screw. You connect the wires by inserting them into the holes marked LINE and then tightening the screws down tight.
In residential 120 volt wall outlet wiring yes the black always goes to the brass/copper screw. White is connected to the silver screw, and ground to the green screw.
Black wire to copper screw, white wire to silver screw, bare copper ground wire to green ground screw.

Power into the first outlet and out to all other outlets, black to gold and white to silver screw, ground wires to ground screw. From the outlet closest to the light switch run power from that outlet up to the switch box. Run another wire from the switch box up to the light. In the switch box tie all the whites together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Tie all the ground wires together and connect that to the ground screw on the switch. Connect the 2 black wires you have left to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which if you only have power in and power out to the light.
Brass (or bronze) is the "hot" wire, (Black, red, or blue) silver is for the neutral (the white wire) and green is for, well, the green or bare wire

In typical American wiring the black wire on an outlet goes to the gold (copper) screw and the white wire goes to the silver screw. The ground wire goes to the green screw.
You find a space in your electric panel that will hold a 30 A breaker. You run 10 gauge wire from the electric panel to where you mount the outlet. You buy a 30 A rated outlet with a receptacle that matches the cotton candy machine. Black wire goes to the brass colored screw on the outlet, white wire to silver screw and ground wire to green screw.

Yes. Silver tone jewelry will turn your finger green because the metal under the silver tone is probably a brass which contains copper. It is the copper that turns your finger green.
