RE: 19-05-2025 - Physics - Alternating current [EN]-[IT]

Very interesting and educational, in the end the alternating current is much more profitable than direct current, it is important and fundamental to know this kind of things in mathematics and physics.

Sort:  

Alternating current is absolutely more convenient over long distances than direct current. At the end of the 19th century, the “war of the currents” saw alternating current prevail precisely because of this efficient transport capacity. If we were to use direct current to power cities, we would have gigantic transformers placed even a short distance from each other, so we would have enormous power generating machines and we would be full of them. TESLA was hindered in every way by Edison, but his technology prevailed !WEIRD
