Ground Fault Isolators (GFI's)
We have been having problems with loss of power at receptacles inside our garage and outside on the patio. Bruce, our favorite electrician, replaced one of our GFI receptacles that had been kicking o...

On a GFI protected circuit, if one were to install a 12k Ohm resistor from 120 VAC Hot to Ground (there by provide a 10 milliamp leak) the GFI should trip. because there would be 10 mA less current in the neutral then the hot. IMO
On edit: If we also added a 12k Ohm resistor between neutral and ground there would be no current flow through that resistor because the voltage across this resistor would be effectively zero volts.
