Alternating Current (AC)
Nikola Tesla revolutionized the way electricity is transmitted by developing the alternating current (AC) system. His work in AC power enabled the efficient long-distance transmission of electricity.
About Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, and physicist. He is best known for his development of alternating current (AC) electrical systems, which became the foundation for modern electrical power distribution.
Details About His Work
Alternating Current (AC): Tesla's work on alternating current revolutionized the electrical industry. His AC motor and transformer designs made long-distance transmission of electricity practical, overcoming the limitations of Thomas Edison's direct current (DC) systems.
Tesla Coil: A device invented by Tesla that is used in the generation of high-voltage, low-current electricity. It laid the foundation for wireless technology, including radio.
