Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) is a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer who developed the alternating current (AC) polyphase power system — including AC motors, generators, and transformers — that became the global standard for electrical power distribution.
Why it matters
Tesla's AC system won the 'War of Currents' and electrified the modern world; his foundational work on rotating magnetic fields, radio-frequency resonance, and wireless transmission shaped electrical engineering and inspired later research in wireless technology.
