For a socket you have three wires live, neutral and earthing. Live carries the current when you turn on the switch, neutral carries the current away when you turn off the switch. Earthing makes sure there is no high current with low voltage passing to blow the socket. This ensures safety of your appliance. Pretty much basic things.
