INTRODUCTION
Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer
circuit invented and named after by Nicola
Tesla in 1891. It is used to produce high
voltage, low current alternating current
electricity. The output voltage is produced by
resonance

FORMULA USED

Here, f is resonating frequency

L is self inductance
C is capacitance

In order to generate high output voltage

levels, both the primary and secondary
circuits are adjusted to be in resonance
with each other. So, the resonant
frequencies in both circuits can be known
by inductance and capacitance values in
the circuits.

FORMULA USED

Here, ‘f1’ corresponds to the resonant

frequency in the primary tuned circuit and
‘f2’ corresponds to the resonant frequency in
the secondary tuned circuit

In general, the secondary circuit is not

adjusted and so the primary circuit is tuned
until the resonant frequencies of both
matches.

At resonance condition

The circuit operates in a rapid repeating cycle in

which the supply transformer charges the
capacitor to a high voltage; which has low
reactance. When the voltage across the capacitor
reaches the breakdown voltage of the spark gap,
a spark bridge is formed. As a result spark gap
resistance is reduced to a very low value. This
finishes the primary circuit. So the current from
the capacitor flows through the primary coil. The
current flows rapidly back and forth between the
plates of the capacitor through coil generating
radio frequency oscillating current in the
primary circuit at the circuits resonant
frequency.
