In this edition Tarikh Nikhil talks about the war of electricity. Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison are two giants of electrical engineering whose inventions changed history. But the electricity war between the two is no secret to the world. In the late 19th century, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse battled over which electricity system—direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC)–would become standard. During their bitter dispute, dubbed the War of the Currents, Edison championed the direct-current system, while Tesla and Westinghouse promoted the alternating-current system.

Edison developed the world’s first practical light bulb in the late 1870s, then began building a system for producing and distributing electricity so businesses and homes could use his new invention. He opened his first power plant, in New York City, in 1882. Two years later, Tesla, a young engineer from Austria, immigrated to America and went to work for Edison. Tesla was interested in developing an AC motor, however, Edison was a DC supporter. Edison claimed AC had no future. Tesla quit his job in 1885 and a few years later received a number of patents for his AC technology. In 1888, he sold his patents to industrialist George Westinghouse, whose Westinghouse Electric Company had quickly become an Edison competitor.

Feeling threatened by the rise of AC. Edison launched a propaganda campaign to discredit AC and convince the public it was dangerous. As part of this campaign, animals were publicly electrocuted with AC, and when New York State sought a more humane alternative to hanging its death-penalty prisoners, Edison recommended alternating current-powered electrocution as the fastest, deadliest option. In 1890, convicted murderer William Kemmler became the first person to die in the electric chair. Ultimately, In the end Edison failed in his efforts to discredit AC. and AC became dominant in the electric power industry.
