P²R / V²

THESIS Main (won, 1890s): Tesla and Westinghouse's alternating current, because transformers make high voltage cheap, and line loss for fixed power falls as 1/V². Ghost (lost then): Edison's low-voltage DC; the "war of the currents" ended with AC at Niagara (1895–96) (LIT). The ghost partly came back: modern HVDC lines beat AC over very long distances. COMPUTEDLoss = P²R/V². Raising 110 V to 11 kV cuts losses by 10⁴.

MNEMONIC "Hundred times the volts, ten-thousandth the loss."

kV

Main track = the idea that won; ghost track = the challenger that lost. Entangled partner: drift-wegener.
