Tesla's Innovations and Static Electricity Concepts

Front

What is Tesla's major innovation in contrast to Edison's DC system?

Back

Alternating Current (AC) is Tesla's major innovation, allowing for efficient long-distance electricity transmission.

Front

Why did Tesla’s contributions to radio go unrecognized during his lifetime?

Back

Tesla's contributions were overshadowed by patent manipulation by powerful businessmen.

How does a fixed negative particle affect the path of a moving positive particle?

Back

A fixed negative particle attracts the moving positive particle.

Front

Who discovered electromagnetic induction?

Back

Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, a fundamental principle in electromagnetism.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electrons to move freely, facilitating the flow of electric current.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the accumulation of electric charge on the surface of objects, often caused by friction.

Front

What is the principle of electromagnetic induction?

Back

Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current in a conductor by changing the magnetic field around it.

Front

What is the difference between AC and DC?

Back

AC (Alternating Current) changes direction periodically, while DC (Direct Current) flows in one direction.

Front

What role do insulators play in electricity?

Back

Insulators are materials that resist the flow of electric current, preventing unwanted energy loss.

Front

What is the significance of Tesla coils?

Back

Tesla coils are used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating current electricity.
