Where can one find out how to rewire a standard lamp?
eHow is a great resource for topics like this, with articles like "How to Re-Wire a Lamp," "How to Rewire a Lamp with a Rotary Switch," "How to Rewire an Old Lamp," and "How to Wire a Floor Lamp."
What size wire needed to power 100 watt bulb?
In a floor lamp or table lamp a #16 wire is what you need.
What is the lamp black wire with white stripe?
If you are asking about the electrical cord on a lamp, the black wire with the white stripe is the neutral conductor.
Can I use 18 AWG speaker wire to rewire a lamp?
No! Most lamp cords are made with 18 guage wire, some speaker wire is made with 18 guage wire too but the insualtion of the wire is very different. Both wires have insulation for their intended uses. Supplying a lamp with line voltage and supplying a speaker with low voltage are very different. The speaker wire is not meant to carry line voltage and may overheat and or melt.
How do you identify the NEUTRAL wire on a 2 wire very old electrical cord of a goose neck lamp?
The best way to find the neutral wire on any lamp is to ring the wire out. Before there were polarized plugs and receptacles a lamp could be plugged in either way. All new lamps have polarized plugs where the neutral is connected to the shell of the lamp holder and the "hot" wire is connected to the center pin deep in the lamp socket. Back to your goose neck lamp, you will need a meter that reads resistance and use it as a continuity meter. With the lamp unplugged and the lamp's switch in the off position connect one lead of the meter to the shell of the lamp holder. Take the other lead and touch it to one of the plug cap blades. If the meter gives a reading it is that blade that is the neutral wire. If there is no reading then that blade is considered the "hot" wire. If you are changing the plug (cap) out for a new one connect the newly established neutral wire to the silver coloured screw and the newly established "hot" wire to the gold coloured screw. Now when ever and where ever the lamp is plugged into a voltage source the polarity will be correct and the lamp will be much safer to use.

grooved wire mean earth wire smooth wire mean suply wire
Which is hot ribbed wire or smooth wire?
In North America the neutral has to be identified as such. On a lamp cord the ribbed insulation side is the identification of the neutral wire. The "hot" conductor of the lamp cord is the smooth insulation.No. Screw material is no safe indicator because they would be too easy to swap round.
