  1. Electric Current and Transformers

  2. Edison • Inventor and Businessman • Phonograph, Camera (movie), Light bulbs • Edison invents Direct Current • Standard for all of the US • power plants could only send DC about a mile before the electricity began to lose power

  3. Tesla • Inventor, Electrical Engineer, physicist • Very theatrical • Moves to US to work with Edison • Invents Alternating Current • Much more efficient and powerful

  4. AC/DC • Direct Current – Useful, but not over long distances • Alternating Current – Much stronger and powerful over long spans

  5. Transformers • Change energy levels • Can either be step up or step down

  6. TransformersDrawn
