Electrical Genius - Nikola Tesla
Electrical Genius - Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943) was an inventor , mechanical engineer , and electrical engineer . He was one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity , and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution and the AC motor , with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution . Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries are of groundbreaking importance. The International System of Units unit measuring magnetic field B (also referred to as the magnetic flux density and magnetic induction ), the tesla , was named in his honor, as well as the Tesla effect of wireless energy transf...
