I have no issues with the logistics of AC and DC but would you please elaborate on your last sentence? I can't see the mathematical difference in P=I*V vs P=I2*R vs P= V2/R which is my big issue.
The logistics part I completely get but could you elaborate on
because in my mind I still see I2* R = V2/R.
What do you mean by you don't drop the total voltage of the transmission lines.
I was recently informed that AC is the preferred method of transmitting power because it suffers significantly less power loss going from the generating station to where ever it needs to go when compared to DC losses.
In my introductory electricity class we learned that power through a given...
