battle ultimately decided which type of current became the standard for the generation of electricity today. Due to different advantages and disadvantages‚ Edison promoted direct current (DC) for electric power distribution‚ whereas Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla both advocated alternating current (AC). Edison ’s direct current was initially the standard for the United States for electricity distribution as not only did DC work well with incandescent lamps (the principal load of the day)‚ but DC systems

What were the advantages and disadvantages to the AC and DC electricity distribution systems? Why did AC win? Tesla‚ Westinghouse‚ and Edison were all key people in the history of the development of the electrical utility industry. Nikola Tesla improved the AC electricity distribution system‚ where Thomas

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

Marie Curie (French: [maʁikyʁi]; 7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934)‚ née Maria SalomeaSkłodowska (Polish: [ˈmarjasalɔˈmɛaskwɔˈdɔfska])‚ was a Polish physicist and chemist‚ working mainly in France‚[2] who is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize‚ the only woman to win in two fields‚ and the only person to win in multiple sciences. She was also the first female professor at theUniversity of Paris (La Sorbonne)‚ and in 1995 became the first woman

Innovation vs Entrepreneurship Navin Kumar Prasannam – 24C “Necessity is the mother of invention” is an English proverb meaning that difficulty or need for ease bolsters inventions aimed at killing those difficulties. This is where an innovator steps in and ensures‚ with all his creativity‚ that there is a product designed to satisfy the necessity. But who ensures the success of the product in terms of its utilization or market share‚ when compared to its rivals? According to the Oxford Dictionary

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 purchased Tesla’s patents
