historians call it the War of the Currents. T homas Alva Edison (left) and Nikola Tesla (right) competed fiercely over the distribution of electricity via alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). Edison supported DC, while Tesla supported AC.
Since charges flow from a higher potential (voltage) to a o lower potential/ DC provides a constant, unidirectional flow, Alternating, current o (ACY electricity is produced from rotating generators and can now be synthesized by inverters and variable-speed motor drives.
