FAQ About Nikola Tesla

The 'War of Currents' was a period during the late 19th century when there was intense competition between the proponents of alternating current (AC), led by Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, and direct current (DC), championed by Thomas Edison. The conflict was rooted in determining which electrical system would become the standard for power distribution. AC eventually prevailed due to its ability to efficiently transmit power over long distances.
