 AC is the current that periodicall
Alternating curre
y changes the direction of the curren
nt
t over time, with an average current
of zero over a period.

Usually the AC waveform is a sine c

urve. AC can transmit electricity eff
iciently. But there are actually othe
r waveforms, such as triangle waves a
nd square waves, that apply. The main
electric power used in life is the al
ternating power with sine waveforms.
Direct Curren
Direct Current (DC), also known
t as constant current, is the same
size and direction of dc, it was
discovered by Edison. In 1747, Fr
anklin of the United States propo
sed the law of charge conservatio
n based on experiments, and defin
ed the terms of positive and nega
tive electricity.
 For example, we get the typical pulsating
DC by rectifying the 50 Hz AC through the
diode, and the 50 Hz pulsating DC is
obtained by half-wave rectification. Full-
wave or bridge-type rectification results in
100Hz pulsating DC power, which only
becomes smoothed after being filtered
(using inductors or capacitors).

Constant current means that t

on (positive and negative) do not Of course, there are still

Nikola Tes
laNikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 – January 7, 1943), a Se
rbian-American inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer,
electrical engineer.
On July 10, 1856, Tesla was born in Smiliang, Croatia,
in Yugoslavia. In 1895, he built a generator set for the
US Nicaragua power station, which is still one of the wo
rld's most famous hydropower stations. In 1897, he made
Marconi's radio communication theory a reality. In 1898,
he made the world's first radio-controlled ship, patente
d for radio-controlled technology. In 1899 he invented
X-ray photography. Other inventions include: radios, rad
ars, fax machines, vacuum tubes, neon tubes, missile nav
igation, and more. The magnetic density unit (1 Tesla =
10000 Gause) was named after his name, indicating his ma
gnetic contribution.
Although he devoted his life to continuous research and
obtained about 1,000 patents (one said 700 [3]) patents, this
did not make him full of money, Tesla has long been financially
strapped. On January 7, 1943, Tesla died of heart failure at the
New York Hotel at the age of 86. In 2003, in order to
commemorate the iconic Tesla, Elon Musk named Tesla under

n
Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 - October 18, 1931), w
as born in Milan, Ohio, USA, and died in West Orange, New Jers
ey, USA. Inventor, entrepreneur.

Edison is the first person in human history to use the princ

iples of mass production and electrical engineering research t
o make patents that have a profound impact on the world. The p
honograph, movie camera and improved electric light he invente
d have had a great impact on the world. He has invented more t
han 2,000 inventions in his lifetime and has more than 1,000 p
atents. [2] Edison was ranked 9th in the 100 characters who in
fluenced the United States by the American journal Atlantic Mo
nthly.
