Have you heard of Tesla... Nikola Tesla? No? Spent your physics lessons passing notes back and forth under the desk, did you? Ok, never mind, we at apnoti.com don’t mind filling a few gaps in your education. Nikola Tesla was born in the Croatian town of Smiljan – then part of the Austrian Empire – on 10 July 1856. An inventor and electrical engineer by trade, Tesla developed the alternating current system and immediately got into a dispute with leading light Thomas Alva Edison (whose inventions included the light bulb, the phonograph, the motion picture camera and the electric chair) over whether his alternating current or Edison’s direct current was better suited to supplying towns and cities with electrical power. Edison won... but only temporarily – for as we know, what comes out of the world's electrical sockets today is alternating current. In 1960 the unit of measurement for “magnetic flux density” was named the “tesla” in Nikola Tesla’s honour.
