How far is the required distance between electrical outlet and sink in an office building?
Before the code requiring all outlets to have GFCI protection that at within 6' of a water source you were required to install the outlet at least 6' from the sink. Now, there is no minimum distance but all outlets must be GFCI protected that are installed within 6' of a water source.
Are gfci plugs required in a bathroom?
Deoends on code you are governed by. In USA, a GFCI outlet or a circuit controlled by a GFCI circuit breaker would be required.
Can you feed multiple outlets to one GFCI outlet near the sink?
code states that if a water source such as a sink is within 6 feet of a receptacle, that recetacle (s), must be protected by a GFCI receptacle. I believe the actual distance is 5 feet. Please forgive me if I'm wrong. But the NEC also requires that ANY counter top receptacles in a kitchen and receptacles ANYWHERE in a bathroom must be GFCI protected. More directly to your question, ordinary receptacles can be protected from a GFCI receptacle if properly wired. They are designed to do that. It is a way to save money. You may also consider a GFCI breaker if you have many receptacles to protect. I was told once that there is a limit of 3 "piggy backed" receptacles per GFCI but I have never seen that in the NEC.
May a GFCI receptacle be installed as a receptacle in an old installation where the 2-wire circuit has no equipment grounding conductor?
Actually, yes. The GFCI does not need any ground; it measures "leakage", i.e., an imbalance, regardless of whether there is "ground". The National Electrical Code permits installing a GFCI to replace a completely ungrounded receptacle. Others have said: No. The GFCI is designed to measure an unintended path to ground. Without a good ground reference this is not possible.
What is the smallest wire size for which overcurrent protection is specified in the Code?
14 AWG
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)

In US or Canada are RCDs or updated GFCIs now used with 240 volt balanced household AC power mains supplies to trip on any significant difference between the currents flowing in the live and neutral?
Yes. In Canada no, the main incoming service is not protected with GFCI's. The code calls for selective branch circuits to be protected. In the new code regulations the GFCI's will be replaced with arc fault protection to monitor the selective circuits.
Where must GFCI receptacles be installed in residential garages?

Does a microwave have to be plugged into a GFCI outlet?
Appliance police will not come to your home to determine if your microwave is plugged into a GFCI outlet.The important question is, what is the potential for electrocution with your microwave in the event of a malfunction?If a person could reach the microwave with one hand and a potential ground (sink, concrete floor) with the other hand or a foot, the microwave should be plugged into a GFCI. However... if you research local ordinance and find that your microwave should be plugged into a GFCI, then that's what you should do.If your microwave is plugged into a receptacle on your kitchen countertop it should have GFCI protection.The National Electrical Code (US) states:Section 210.8 Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter Protection for Personnel. (A) Dwelling Units. All 125-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacles installed in the locations specified in (1) through (8) shall have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel. (6) Kitchens - where the receptacles are installed to serve the countertop surfaces.
