Nikola Telsa - Inspirational Leader ( By D. Deepak )
Nikola Tesla was a famous inventor born in 1856 in Croatia who is considered the father of electricity. Some of his most important inventions included the Tesla coil, Tesla turbine, AC induction motor, and contributions to the development of three-phase electric power systems and neon lighting. During his life, Tesla was involved in a famous rivalry and patent battle known as the "War of Currents" where he advocated for the use of alternating current over Thomas Edison's preferred direct current for power distribution systems. Despite the contributions of his many inventions, Tesla died in poverty in 1943 with some of his ideas still not fully recognized.

The document discusses the history of electricity and early electric machines. It describes how Alessandro Volta constructed the first electric battery called the "voltaic pile" in 1800, which consisted of alternating copper and zinc discs separated by brine-soaked cloth. The voltaic pile was one of the first electric machines built and generated electricity through a chemical reaction rather than a voltage difference between metals. Volta used his machine to decompose chemicals and produce new substances, demonstrating early applications of electricity.
What a machine !!

It describes how Alessandro Volta constructed the first electric battery called the "voltaic pile" in 1800, which consisted of alternating copper and zinc discs separated by brine-soaked cloth. The voltaic pile was one of the first electric machines built and generated electricity through a chemical reaction rather than from living beings as was previously assumed. Volta used the machine to demonstrate that electricity could be produced chemically and flow through a closed circuit.
AC & DC
Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conducting material. It is measured in amperes and defined as the rate of flow of positive charge from high to low electric potential. Resistance is a material property that impedes current flow and depends on resistivity, area, and length. Ohm's law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. Direct current flows in one direction from positive to negative, while alternating current periodically reverses direction.
Nikolas tela vs Thomas edison
This document provides information about Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, including their biographies and major inventions. Tesla is credited with inventing alternating current, which became the standard for electric power transmission. He developed technologies like remote control, X-rays, and wireless transmission. Edison developed innovations like the phonograph, motion picture camera, and long-lasting incandescent light bulb. Both made major contributions to electrical engineering, but had differing approaches - Tesla relied more on theory while Edison used trial and error. Their inventions transformed industries and remain influential today in technologies like power grids and electronics.

This document provides an overview of electric power systems, including their history and basic concepts. It discusses how electric power systems evolved from early experiments in the 18th century through the development of generators, transformers, and interconnected grids. The key concepts of voltage, current, power, energy, direct current, alternating current, frequency, and the three types of loads - resistive, inductive, and capacitive - are explained. Today's electric power systems generate power, transmit it over high-voltage lines, transform the voltage, and distribute power to homes and businesses in real-time as it is consumed.
Nikola tesla master of imagination
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and engineer best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Some of his most important accomplishments included developing AC motor and polyphase systems, which helped power industry and enabled the widespread use of electric power. He demonstrated pioneering inventions in fields like wireless energy transmission and fluorescent lighting. However, Tesla often did not patent his inventions, and some of his most ambitious projects were never fully realized due to lack of funding and business support. Nonetheless, Tesla made enormous contributions to electrical engineering and remains an inspiration to inventors today.
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor known for his contributions to the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. The presentation summarizes Tesla's life and achievements, including developing AC power which enabled safe electricity transmission, inventing fluorescent lights and wireless radio technology decades before others were credited, developing remote control and induction motors. Despite his revolutionary inventions, Tesla died alone in poverty while the US government confiscated his research. The presentation argues Tesla was one of the highest minds born and helped light, energize and automate the world.
