Scenarios about 'alternating current'
The system of electrical distribution using current that periodically reverses direction, pioneered by Nikola Tesla and championed by George Westinghouse in the late 19th century. Alternating current won the "War of Currents" against Thomas Edison's direct current system due to its ability to transmit electricity over long distances with minimal power loss, fundamentally shaping modern electrical infrastructure and industrialization.
