Description
This lecture covers the historical controversy between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison regarding the use of alternating current (AC) versus direct current (DC) in the late 1880s. It explains the importance of sinusoidal regime in electrical circuits, the role of transformers, and the remarkable mathematical properties of sinusoidal functions. The lecture also delves into the achievements and bitter rivalry between Tesla and Edison, highlighting their contributions to electrical science and technology.
