Tesla may refer to several related topics in science and industry. Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer renowned for his work on alternating current systems, induction motors, transformers, and wireless communication experiments. His research helped establish modern AC power generation and transmission, and his ideas on resonance and high-frequency currents influenced early radio and electromagnetic theory. The SI unit of magnetic flux density, the tesla (symbol T), is named after him.
