Nikola Tesla was born in Croatia on 10 July in 1856.

He studied electrical engineering and


later attended the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague.
Tesla accepted a job under Tivadar Puskás in a Budapest telegraph company in 1880. He
was later promoted to chief electrician and later engineer for the company.
In 1882, Tesla began working for the Continental Edison Company in France, After moving
to New York, United States, Tesla worked for Thomas Alva Edison, but the two didn’t get
along well. He started working with George Westinghouse in 1885. There, he devised an
electrical distribution system that employed alternating current (AC).
Her most important contribution to energy history is the use of alternating current (AC).
The Westinghouse Electric Company was the first to implement this technology by lighting
the World Colombian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.
Tesla helped in the development of generators and turbine design. The earliest
demonstration of fluorescent lighting was also his accomplishment.
Nikola Tesla continued his research work on electricity generation and turbine design in
his later life. He died in New York City on 7 January 1943. He was 86 years old.
