When the need arises to correct for poor power factor in an
AC power system, you probably won't have the luxury of
knowing the load's exact inductance in henrys to use for
your calculations. You may be fortunate enough to have an
instrument called a power factor meter to tell you what the
power factor is (a number between 0 and 1), and the
apparent power (which can be figured by taking a voltmeter
reading in volts and multiplying by an ammeter reading in
amps). In less favorable circumstances you may have to use
an oscilloscope to compare voltage and current waveforms,
measuring phase shift in degrees and calculating power
factor by the cosine of that phase shift.

An ISP is granted a block of addresses starting with 150.80.0.0/16. The ISP wants to distribute these blocks to 2600 customers as follows. a) 200 medium size businesses; each needs 16 addresses b) 400 small businesses; each needs 8 addresses c) 2000 households; each needs 4 addresses Design the subblocks and give the slash notation for each subblock. Find out how many addresses are still available after these allocations.
How one may guess the direction from which the distribution line is incoming if there is no pole plate on poles?
