Student a says that a gfci provides protection when a current-carrying path develops between a hot wire and the neutral student b says that gfcis are used when outlets are placed near water?

yes a gfci receptacle has a built in ct that senses a imbalance in current between line and neautral, when the imbalance is large enough (5ma) the gfci is tripped or opened. check the electrical code book for proper application of gfci devices(breakers & receptacles)
