Alternating current had a massive advantage over direct current: it could be transformed easily into a higher or lower voltage. Voltage, like water pressure, moves electric charge. Amperage, like water volume, delivers more charge. The two qualities interact inversely. Stepping up voltage reduces amperage. Stepping up voltage allows alternating current to flow on wires of smaller diameter without encountering as much energy-sapping resistance.
~ Richard Rhodes
Stanley's breakthrough came in studying the Siemens system. He realized, he said, that if he could make an induction coil—a "transformer," he called it now—wired in parallel rather than in series, each coil would operate independently. That arrangement would keep the current steady whatever the demand and even if a component failed.
~ Richard Rhodes

That's how I think it is with us. It's a shame, Kath, because we've loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can't stay together forever.
~ Kazuo Ishiguro
