For outlets as required by the NEC (US) they must be installed anywhere from 18" from the wall in the floor to 60" high on the wall. Other outlets may also be installed but they cannot be counted as "required outlets".
Outlets must never be installed "face up" in a countertop.
Apart from that, where outlets are placed seems to be a matter of personal choice and practice.
Some electricians are of the opinion that outlets are usually installed too low yet others install them low because that is what people expect to see. (Low is typical so cords are not visible above furniture.)
Standard mounting heights vary from installer to installer. Common receptacle heights vary from 12" to 24" with 16" or 18" center to center being most common.
Switch heights are usually around 52" or 54" to center, but, to accomodate some kinds of disability access or wheelchair considerations, many people use 36" switch heights and 24" receptacle heights. There is nothing in the US NEC about it and it is not clear if there is any law about it.
Counter-top receptacles are dictated-to by the counter height, so are 43" or so center to center.
Thermostats are usually mounted at about 72", which may have something to do with an ideal position for sensing heat in a room.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Electrical outlets for a gas range should typically be installed around 6-8 inches above the finished floor. This height allows for easy access to plug in the range without interfering with the placement of the appliance. However, it's always best to consult local building codes and the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.
there is no prescribed height requirement, however to be counted as one of the NEC required receptacles in a residence the mounting height must be below 6'6"
The maximum height for the required outlets is actually 5 feet and includes receptacles within 18 inches of the wall if installed in the floor.
Generally speaking, most residential receptacles put in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways are mounted 16 inches above the floor. Unless specified otherwise by an engineer, builder, or homeowner, the choice is made by the electrician doing the rough-in. Most of us use 16 inches, the old "hammer-handle" rule-of-thumb.
For UK, the minimum is 150mm above the work surface, and 300mm left or right of the hob or cooker and the sink(including the drainage board!)
Any socket outlet placed in a kitchen must be RCD protected!!

if following the NFPA (most popular in the USA) the rule for bathroom receptacles is
that is shall be adjacent to the sink within 30 inches of the sink basin (and must be ground fault protected); there is no specific HEIGHT requirement per code
From a common sense point of view, if the wall has tile on the bottom and something else above (like wallpaper) the receptacle should be either fully in the tile section OR fully out of the tile section (not half-and-half like some many mistakes I've seen)
The electrical receptacle for a GAS range is limited to the electronic controls and ignition and the timer and lights There is no code requirement for the height of the receptacle. Most of these appliances have a 6 foot cord. For ranges that stand on the floor, it is customary to hide the receptacle behind the appliance at an approximate height of 18" above the floor. For ranges that are installed inside cabinetry, you need to consider the exact cabinetry construction
The National Electrical Code (NEC) does not specify a minimum height for electrical junction boxes in bedrooms. However, a common practice is to install them at a height of about 12 to 16 inches above the finished floor for accessibility and ease of use.
Top of the outlet should be 3 to 4 feet above the floor. I recommend 3' as it will be hidden and out of sight and still easy to plug in.
The standard height for a stove outlet is around 36 inches above the finished floor. This height ensures easy access for plugging in the stove and is a common practice for most homes. Make sure to consult local building codes and regulations for specific requirements in your area.
The velocity of efflux from a tank at a constant height of 10m can be calculated using Torricelli's theorem. The velocity can be found using the formula v = √(2gh), where v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and h is the height of the water surface above the outlet. Substituting the values, we get v = √(29.8110) = √(196.2) ≈ 14 m/s.
You would use the metric unit of centimeters to measure the height from the floor to the doorknob.
There is no code ruling on this. I set mine 12" to center. If you are putting in a new outlet in an existing home I would suggest you just match it to the height of the rest of the outlets.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) does not specify a minimum height for electrical junction boxes in bedrooms. However, a common practice is to install them at a height of about 12 to 16 inches above the finished floor for accessibility and ease of use.
The standard height is around 12" to 15" the bottom of the box above the floor but for the disabled you can install them higher but no more than 48" above the floor. Pick a height that will work for the disabled and install all of them the exact same height.
Yes, an electrical receptacle can be positioned three feet from the floor. Counter top receptacles fall into this category.
The typical kitchen counter height is 36" above the floor. A raised bar is typically 42" above the floor.
Top of the outlet should be 3 to 4 feet above the floor. I recommend 3' as it will be hidden and out of sight and still easy to plug in.
For a smaller window such as a 36" X 36", the average height above the floor is about 32" to 36". For a taller window, it may be as little as 20-22" above the floor.
The standard height for a stove outlet is around 36 inches above the finished floor. This height ensures easy access for plugging in the stove and is a common practice for most homes. Make sure to consult local building codes and regulations for specific requirements in your area.
10 feet
The standard height they are placed is no more than 48" above the floor. I mount my switch boxes with the top of the box 48" above the floor. You can install them lower if you wish but no lower than 15" above the floor.
In the NBA, the hoop is 10 feet above the ground.
