nineteenth century, Edison favoured generating and supplying direct current (DC) electricity while Westinghouse promoted the use of alternating current (AC) electricity. Edison had the initial advantage that the technology for generating DC was well established and DC worked well over short distances. However, DC could only be generated and distributed at the voltages at which it was used by consumers. This meant that currents in conductors were large, leading to huge and expensive energy losses

Preparation Questions: Item to Be Described (product and use) The OLED, Organic Light Emitting Diode, is the newest addition to the LED line of equipment. This new piece of equipment is the first ever design that allows the capability for High Definition TVs to be 80 inches wide, less than a quarter inch, and be rolled up when you’re not using it. This possibility and many more are capable through the solid-state devices of OLED. Composed of thin films of organic modules, OLEDs create light

CHAPTER I The Problem and Its Setting Introduction Cookers can broadly be divided into two types, namely gas cookers and electric cookers. Electric cookers can also however also be sub-divided into three types, namely radiant coil cookers, solid disc cookers and ceramic top cookers. Gas cookers power is easy to adjust and response is instant, thus providing good temperature control. Consumption of gas varies depending on the size of the burners. This type of cooker is the least efficient of

alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Tesla gained experience in telephony and electrical engineering before emigrating to the United States in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison. He soon struck out on his own with financial backers, setting up laboratories and companies to develop a range of electrical devices. His patented AC induction motor and transformer were licensed by George Westinghouse, who also hired Tesla as a consultant to help develop a power system using alternating current. Tesla
