Some Wayne Kerr set it off at a tangent, that's why.

....shocking!- this is no way to conduct a thread

Not as funny as the fact that we are all using 50 Hz instead of the more efficient 60 Hz ...

I'm not sure I would agree that 60Hz would be more efficient. It has some advantages in that transformer cores and motor stators can be made slightly smaller but hysteresis and eddy current losses generally increase with frequency as do the reactive losses in transmission lines.

Ohm Dear, hope its not going down the AC/DC route.

A wasted explanation Kev

Alas you might be right. Still, keeps me sharp while I'm occupied just herding virtual electrons around inside the registers of a CPU.
