What are the different forms of utility?

What is a utility panel in a building?

In electrical terminology it is the same as a distribution panel. It gets called a utility panel because it is the first device that is connected to the utility company's service connection when it enters a building. The utility panel is not owned by the utility company, it belongs to the home owner and it his responsibility to ensure that it is installed correctly and safely. In most cases an electrical inspector has to give his recommendation that it be connected.

How do I remove my hydro meter?

In North America you don't. If the utility company catches you tampering with their meter you could be subjected to a fine and in extreme cases a disconnection from their supply. Once the seal is broken and the meter reader sees the broken seal it is reported to the utility company right away. If you need to get it removed for legitimate reasons call the utility company and they will remove it for you. In certain cases the utility company will allow approved contractors to pull the meter but the contractor has to abide by the utility company's rules.

What is the similarity between cardinal utility theory and ordinal utility theory?

When discussing cardinal vs. ordinal, it is helpful to look at what the words mean. The distinguishing factor here is between cardinal and ordinal numbers. Cardinal numbers are 1, 2, 3; ordinal numbers, 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Some crucial differences follow from that. Whereas mathematical operations can be performed on cardinal numbers, they cannot be performed on ordinal numbers. Now, when talking about cardinal utility, it is an attempt to ''measure the utility of various alternatives. When talking about ordinal utility, it is the ''ranking of alternatives.'''' Cardinal utility is, however, an erroneous concept. It is impossible to "measure" utility. People can only say "I prefer A to B", but cannot meaningfully say "I prefer A 2.5 times more than B" or something to that effect. Furthermore, comparisons of utility between different individuals are impossible and meaningless, as well as between the same individual at different points in time (as individuals can and do change their preferences -- that is, ordinal value-scale rankings). Because value is subjective, we cannot measure it and cannot compare between two different people, or even between the same person at different times. To clarify, ordinal utility culminates in value-scales: 1st: A2nd: B3rd: C whereas cardinal utility is the erroneous attempt at measurement: 10utils -- A7utils -- B3utils -- COmar Tawfik.
