THE WAR OF CURRENTS Tesla vs Edison: THE WAR OF CURRENTS In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents") in the late 1880s‚ George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison’s promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. Thomas Edison American inventor andbusinessman was known as "The Wizard of Menlo Park" and pushed

After opening the first commercial power plant‚ Edison was only able to distribute electricity to one square mile of Manhattan and so it was found that using direct current (DC) was not an ideal way to get electricity distributed across long distances. Around that same time‚ Nikola Tesla was diligently trying to master the alternate current (AC) motors and generators even though he was discouraged from doing so. After proving his invention to be a practical solution for this problem‚ George Westinghouse

resistance or low resistance? Why? ➢ Yes‚ it is desirable for an ammeter to have a high resistance or low resistance because the lower the resistance‚ the better the ammeter as it is connected in series and so its resistance will affect the current flow and thereby affect any calculations to be obtained. 2. An ammeter of resistance Ra is connected through a rheostat to a cell of negligible internal resistance. When the rheostat is adjusted to a value R1‚ the ammeter reads 0.75 of the full-scale

Australia to illustrate my opinion. Australia is a country that has had a current account deficit for over 50 years. Furthermore‚ forecasts on this current account deficit tend to show that if there is no increase of international competitiveness and decrease of reliance of overseas capital goods‚ the situation will keep on getting worse. Nevertheless‚ if a multinational company wants to invest in a country that tends to have a current account deficit‚ it must bear in mind that one of the ways to decrease

would you do if you got attacked by a rip current? Would you panic or would you stay calm and swim? Rip currents are strong waves that take the water from the coast and take it back to the ocean. Over 100 people drown each year because of rip currents. Over 80% of the rescues on beaches are because of rip currents. In all three sources: “Life Saver” by John DiConsiglio‚ “Rip Current Safety” by National Weather Service‚ and “How to Survive Beach Rip Currents” by UNSWTV‚ it shows that lifeguards need

Dreyfus affair? Who were the winners and losers? In order to fully address these questions one must differentiate between the Dreyfus case; the arrest‚ prosecution and sentence of Captain Alfred Dreyfus‚ and the subsequent Affair which grew out of the case. In answering the questions posed‚ one will discuss the effects of both the case and the resulting affair on Dreyfus and those immediately involved with the case. One will also discuss the effects of the Dreyfus case and the Affair on French

Electricity has had a huge impact on our lives since the day it was discovered. It has changed the way we do everything. Electricity is used today with everything‚ just think about how many things you use everyday that need electricity. Everything that being used in todays world is electricity from an iphone to the internet to a tv. There is a statement out there that says if all the worlds electricity was turned off for 24 hours the whole world would fall apart. This is true‚ for about 95% of everything
