Nikola Tesla (10 
July 1856 - 7 
January 1943)

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian inventor
who later immigrated to America.
He is an electrical and mechanical
engineer. He is mostly well-known
for his massive contribution to
society: The alternating current
(AC). He had made it back in the
middle of May 1888 and we still use
it today.

Scene 3

• The Alternating current (commonly
known as AC) is a type of a electric
current which can change and
reverse directions the current is
heading. For example, if the current
is heading north, it can head south.

What is AC Current
AC is current that varies in direction periodically aud
magnitudes than the dc current

Scene 4

Alternating 
Current (AC) VS 
Direct Current 
(DC)

• In simple terms, the direct current is
a current which only sends electric
energy to a area in a straight
direction. For example, the direct
current can only head north, not any
other directions. This is self-
explanatory why it's named Direct
Current. The differences between the
alternating and direct current is
simple: The alternating current was
made by Nikola Tesla, whereas the
direct current was made by Thomas
Edison. AC alternates whilst the DC
directs to a target. It has been
proven worldwide thaV\C is better.

Nikola Tesla was born on the 10th of July 1 856 into a Serbian family. in
the village of Smiljan, Croatia. His mother was his biggest inspiration
and responsible for sparking his love of working with electricity. When
he was growing up, she would invent small electrical appliances in her
spare time, including a mechanical eggbeater. His father was stern but
a loving Orthodox priest, who was also a gifted writer and poet.

• Nikola Tesla attended a Technical
University at Graz, Austria, and the
University of Prague to train for an
engineering career. Later at
Budapest, he studied the principal
of the rotating magnetic field and
contemplated plans for an
induction motor (an induction
motor is a motor powered by the
alternating current). This was his
first step to making the alternating
current known to the world.

In 1882, Nikola Tesla travelled to Paris to work
