NIKOLA TESLA

Elena Miyake Biology/4th

Nikola Tesla
He was naturalized American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer and physicist. He developed alternating current electricity supply system.

Birth
10 July 1856,Smiljan, Austrian Enpire His father, Milutin Tesla, was a Serbian Orthodox priest. Tesla was the fourth of five children.

Alternating current
Alternating current is the form in which electric power is delivered to businesses and residences. In alternating current the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction.

Thomas Edison
Tesla worked Continental Edison Company . Tesla claimed that he could redesign Edison's inefficient motor and generators, making an improvement in both service and economy. Finally ,Tesla resigned. However , Tesla seemed to be respect Edison.

AC vs DC
In the alternating current distribution system power could be transmitted more efficiently over long distances at high voltages, around ten times that of the loads, using lower current. Direct current could not easily be converted to higher or lower.

 Now, the alternating current is very helpful for our life.
