What is the function of a third prong on a plug?
That is a grounding pin. It provides a easy path for electricity to go to ground (all electricity seeks "ground" and will take the easiest path) By having the grounding pin it there it will hopefully prevent the easiest path to ground from being through YOU. Which would cause you you to get shocked.The third prong connects the body of the appliance directly to ground.

What is the function of the 3 wires in a socket.?
One wire usually connected to the right side of us in the socket is the 'live' or 'phase' or 'hot'. The colour of this will be usually RED. The other one usually Black in colour will be connected to the left side to us and named as neutral. The third wire green in colour will be the earth wire which will be at the top of the socket. This is the safe guarding connection. If anything goes wrong especially in washing machine, wet grinder etc giving shock then immediately fuse would get blown and thus the motor as well as human life would be saved.
