AC power stuff is almost a form of black magic. 
Seriously though, it is pretty interesting, especially once you get in to reactance, systems can do weird things. I find students tend to get very interested in inductive backlash (which is what I call the tendency of inductive loads to cause interesting voltage fluctuations in an attempt to maintain current flow)
