AC vs DC

AC vs DC maybe you see from a person's T-shirt,documentary or Web page. But it's War of Current between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Alva Edison. Both are best competitors for making electricity advanced and provide efficient electricity to our home now. So let's know about AC and DC and its history now.

Thomas Alva Edison who invented DC (Direct Current). He is a businessman too. He invented more electrical things than others. He is a famous inventor of electric light bulb as we use till this day. So let's see how Direct Current works.

Direct current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. It's means the current flows through a conductor in one direction. Mostly Direct current can found in batteries, Chargers,and some electronics. To provide a Direct current, The alternating current with the help of rectifier that change alternating current into Direct current. DC is produced by generating DC generator what gives DC output.Now days DC is widely use in electronics,radio transmitter and receiver,and railways.




Nikola Tesla who invented AC (Alternating Current). His brilliant mind make our home provide electricity so efficient today. He invented wireless communication,AC motors and Generators. So lets see how alternating current works.

Alternating current (AC), is an electric current in which the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction. It's mean the current will flow back and forward in sine waveform in particular frequency. Audio and radio signals carried on electrical wires are also examples of alternating current. These types of alternating current carry information encoded (or modulated) onto the AC signal, such as sound (audio) or images (video). These currents typically alternate at higher frequencies than those used in power transmission. Alternating current produced by AC generator that produced Ac current that send through power transmission lines and to your home.
 War Between Tesla and Edison 

I n 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 against alternating current (AC. When Edison ask Tesla to repair his damaged motor and if he successfully repair it he will get some amount of cash. When Tesla successfully repaired his motor,Edison refused to gie his reward. Tesla upset and stop work from his company. George Westinghouse who invest Tesla's idea to make it reality. Alternating Current is widely uses now,because Direct Current can't travel so far than 2 miles. Edison's company is down. But Edison never give up, Edison took Niagara falls plans to make generation and make Tesla down.Finally Tesla suffer mental illness and Edison make his company better. Alternating Current are now widely use about 99.69% all around the world. In War Of Current, AC wins but both are change the world better.
