Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American scientist, developed alternating current which allowed for the efficient distribution of electricity over large distances. He held hundreds of patents but struggled with mental health issues. Thomas Edison, another American inventor, developed direct current and the motion picture camera. The two scientists competed over whose electrical system, alternating or direct current, would be more widely adopted, with alternating current becoming the standard due to its advantages for power transmission.

NIKOLA TESLA V.
S THOMAS EDISON American-Serbian Scientist American-Serbian Scientist World wireless systems Incandescent light bulb, Kinetoscope, ,electric oscillators, Tesla coils, Vitascope. AC motor and AC current Has a difficulty in hearing Known as the “America’s Prolific Obsessive-Compulsive Inventor” disorder 1093 patents Eidetic memory (Photographic memory) 278 patents Alternating current has alternating flow of electricity Direct current has one way flow of electricity
Alternating current can be converted to high voltage and be back down to small voltage, ideal for electricity distribution. Direct current cannot be easily converted to high voltage
Alternating current can be converted to DC current
DC current can be converted to Alternating current but with a high price
